Beskrivning
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 Dalripa, 80% of England's orre and nationally important populations of ljungpipare, storspov, jorduggla and stenfalk. Other breeding birds using the moors include kärrsnäppa, rödbena, strandskata and ängspiplärka.
