Farming and access to land

We would like to develop a co-operation project that would work with farmers and landowners, particularly on uplands, to look at how the recreational use of land by walkers, climbers and other social users can be complementary to traditional farming practices.

The area has an extensive coastline, over 80 miles in extent. It covers a varied landscape & in addition there are fertile agricultural areas in the centre of the region. Agriculture is still an important industry. Community Development is strong with several very active& dynamic groups. This reflects a strong local pride & culture. This has resulted in a strong tourism sector especially on the North Coast. There are also significant events such as the North West 200 Bike Races& the Lammas Fair.
