Descripción

The area is an area of heather moorland with several reservoirs. Waskerley Way Railway Path (Walking and Cycling Route) gives excellent access along a disused railway. It changes seasonally and is very exposed and sometimes closed during winter snow storms. The moorlands of the North Pennines support a wide variety of birds such as the abundant Lagópodo Común, 80% of England's Gallo lira común and nationally important populations of Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Zarapito Real, Búho Campestre and Esmerejón. Other breeding birds using the moors include Correlimos Común, Archibebe Común, Ostrero Euroasiático and Bisbita Pratense.
