"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."
Our “Living on the Fell” exhibition 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 recording what life in our area is like - and together we can maintain the rich photographic history of the area that community members before us have collected.
Our 2026 calendar will be on sale at the exhibition and other local outlets to raise funds for the Cartmel Fell Volunteers community group, to help us to continue our voluntary work and run more community events in the future. The price is £10.
You can pre-order your calendar via our payment website, which will help us to ensure we order enough calendars for everyone.
