Coppermines Coniston Cottages – Fix the Fells Project

We support Fix The Fells – Protecting our spectacular Lakeland fells from erosion by maintaining and repairing the paths.

Fix the Fells has repaired over 200 sections of paths in the last ten years. Over the next ten years they aim to repair a further 120 paths, whilst continuing to maintain the existing network. They will use quality and sustainable solutions and a combination of prevention and restoration techniques.

They are a team of skilled rangers and volunteers who repair and maintain the mountain paths in the Lake District with funding from donations and partners. A combination of millions of pairs of walking boots, the weather and gradient means erosion is a constant problem. The path work reduces erosion scars and also helps protect the ecology and archaeological heritage of our beautiful landscape.
