Holiday cottage guests fix the Lake District Fells

GUESTS staying with Coppermines and Lakes Cottages have made a contribution to the campaign to help protect and maintain Cumbria's uplands. 

Over the last five years, they have raised £26,000 for Fix The Fells, a team of skilled rangers and volunteers who repair and maintain the mountain paths in the #LakeDistrict. 

 

It was raised by the holiday agency donating a proportion of the profits from its sales of sustainably-sourced local firewood to guests.

The money has been used in a range of projects in the Coniston area including footpath repairs on Coniston Old Man and repairing drystone walls at Park Coppice.

Fix The Fells needs approximately £350,000 a year to maintain its current level of work. In the past ten years, it has repaired more than 200 sections of path and over the next decade it aims to repair a further 120 paths.
