Descrição
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 Lagópode-cinzento, 80% of England's Galo-lira and nationally important populations of Tarambola-dourada, Maçarico-real, Coruja-do-nabal and Esmerilhão. Other breeding birds using the moors include Pilrito-comum, Perna-vermelha-comum, Ostraceiro and Petinha-dos-prados.
