...a story in photographs, 2025
...a story in photographs, 2025
Our “Living on the Fell” project aims to capture a snapshot of life and the lived experience on Cartmel and Newton Fells at the beginning of the second quarter of this century.
We are planning an exhibition of photographs, to take place at Cartmel fell Parish Hall, LA11 6NH on 24th to 26th October 2025.
We hope to exhibit a broad selection of the photographs taken on location by both members of our communities, and visitors.
We invite anyone to submit a photograph taken since the beginning of September 2024 that illustrates the theme of “Living on the Fell” and their lived experience of this beautiful corner of the Lake District.
Life on the southern fells of the Lake District has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. The population has ebbed and flowed, whilst agricultural practice has evolved to meet the needs and desires of the nation. Forests and Damson orchards have come and gone or lie quietly as nature reclaims them for her own. Threats have erupted and receded. Over the years the changes have been captured in photographs both formally and increasingly informally, as we enter the second quarter of the first century of our third recorded millennium.
