Descrizione
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 Pernice bianca nordica, 80% of England's Fagiano di monte and nationally important populations of Piviere dorato, Chiurlo maggiore, Gufo di palude and Smeriglio. Other breeding birds using the moors include Piovanello pancianera, Pettegola, Beccaccia di mare and Pispola.
