Beschrijving
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 Schots sneeuwhoen, 80% of England's Korhoen and nationally important populations of Goudplevier, Wulp, Velduil and Smelleken. Other breeding birds using the moors include Bonte Strandloper, Tureluur, Scholekster and Graspieper.
