There is a new pioneering 70-acre nature reserve that has been established at Bassenthwaite Lake, Lake District. Dubwath Silver Meadows was opened at the end of September and is the first Wetland reserve of its kind in the area.

A new 900m boardwalk made from recycled plastic has been installed, as well as 600m path that will enable visitors to go on a tour of the wetland on a route that will be accessible for all.

The Special Area of Conservation is already home to some of Britain’s most important wildlife.

It is part of the Bassenthwaite Reflections Programme, a HLF scheme, which is a partnership between a number of environmental organisations.
