Description
The area is an area of heather moorland with several reservoirs. Waskerley Way Railway Path (Walking and Cycling Route) gives excellent access along a disused railway. It changes seasonally and is very exposed and sometimes closed during winter snow storms. The moorlands of the North Pennines support a wide variety of birds such as the abundant Lagopède d'Écosse, 80% of England's Tétras lyre and nationally important populations of Pluvier doré, Courlis cendré, Hibou des marais and Faucon émerillon. Other breeding birds using the moors include Bécasseau variable, Chevalier gambette, Huîtrier pie and Pipit farlouse.
