GEN:
A reclaimed chalk pit, infilled, landscaped and grassed over. Trees have been planted, and the common is a viewpoint over land to the south and west.

ANOTES:
The common is managed entirely for recreation. It is used as a viewpoint and picnic area, and trees have been planted to make it look more attractive. It is not publicized by signs from the road, but it does appear that access is unlimited.

SOURCE:
Site visit by N.Penford and M.Finch 23/6/88

GNOTES:
No rights are registered. It appears that the common was once a chalk pit, but it has been reclaimed to provide an open area for quiet recreation.


GEN:
A large open area of grassland, with sports facilities, within the city of Cambridge.

OWNERS:
Owned by the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of Cambridge.

ANOTES:
The common has open access, with numerous footpaths crossing the site. It adjoins the river, and a main road forms the eastern boundary. Appproximately 15% of the common has sports facilities, with a swimming pool, bowling greens, tennis courts, and a cricket pitch. A childrens play area with climbing frames, swings and slides is situated near the eastern boundary. The common is therefore used for both formal and informal recreation to a considerable extent.

GNOTES:
1 right registered to graze a total of 17 geldings, mare and cows, from 1st April to 30th November, but this right does not appear to be exercised. The common is very much an amenity common, and is obviously of great value to the citizens of Cambridge.

ANOTES:
Both the 1:50,000 and 1:10,000 maps show footpaths running across the common, but these do not exist on the ground. Some paths have been made to the houses by the road, but most of the site is covered in a waist-high mixture of grasses, brambles and nettles.

GNOTES:
1 right registered to graze 35 sheep from 1st August to Lady day. The common has been cultivated as allotments, although these have been abandoned for a number of years. A development company has recently purchased the common right, and is building houses on the site. A large part of the common is therefore likely to be deregistered.

Improved pasture bounded by dykes. Adjacent to Wilbraham Fen SSSI, which increases its interest.

ANOTES:
Nature of habitat makes recreational use low. No footpaths nearby.

GRAZINT:
No information on grazing intensity in NCC files.

SOURCE:
Wilbraham Fen SSSI, renotification file.

GNOTES:
13 rights each to graze 1 cow or yearling calves for the whole year bar the period from 2nd Feb.- 12th May. The site was part of Wilbraham Fen SSSI, but was denotified after the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act.


GEN:
The common is in two parts separated by a railway line. The larger area is cropped for hay; the smaller western has been much modified by developement and its proximity to a residential area.

ANOTES:
The eastern part of the common is crossed by a number of minor roads - these are used as access roads by bulk containers and lorries from the flour mill, and so are unsafe for use by the general public. There is a well-maintained and sign-posted footpath along the north-east boundary. The common is used by pedestrians, cyclists and dog-walkers. The western area has no footpath and carries a hay crop so there is no public access.

GRAZINT:
Owing to heavy traffic animals are tethered or restrained by temporary fences, so grazing pressure is very uneven. For the common as a whole, grazing intensity is low.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch 1988. `The Common Lands of Cambridgeshire, D.Wells, 1980.

GNOTES:
No rights registered. The common is divided in two by the railway line. The western area was ploughed up and planted with corn during World War II, and the rest of the common was heavily grazed. The western part was reseeded after the war.


GEN:
Semi-improved neutral grassland with ditches and ponds, within the village of Soham.

ANOTES:
The common is adjacent to the village of Soham, and is crossed by a public bridleway and two minor roads.

SOURCE:
Field survey by N.Penford 1988. "The Common Lands of Cambridgeshire", County Planning Dept., 1956

GNOTES:
The common has unspecified pasture rights registered. It is one of several large commons in the parish of Soham, and is important as an area of semi-natural habitat in a region of intensive agriculture.


GEN:
The common is predominantly  semi-improved grassland within the city of Cambridge and is heavily used both for recreation and for grazing.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a number of footpaths and apparently has open access to the public. There is provision for formal recreation with a golf-course and sports ground. The site is used as a through route for pedestrians and cyclists. The common is grazed by horses and cattle, but this appears to be compatible with recreational use.

GRAZINT:
Moderate. The common is probably grazed for most of the year.

GNOTES:
Rights registered for a total of 124 geldings, mares and cows to be grazed from 1st April to 30th November. The rights are held by the owners of the common - Cambridge City Council. The common is important as a large area of semi-natural habitat within a dense urban development. The council raises money from the common by letting the grazing rights at  50 per horse and  25 a cow per annum.


GEN:
An open area of rough, semi-improved grassland, crossed by paths and streams, with scattered willows and poplars. The common has nationally rare invertebrates associated with the willows.

ANOTES:
The common has open access to the public and is crossed by a number of surfaced footpaths. It is heavily used by pedestrians and cyclists as a short-cut through the city.

GRAZINT:
17 cattle were seen during the site visit. Grazing is light to moderate.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch 1988. NCC holds invertebrate data as the common is an ISR site. (Site no. 85/93)

GNOTES:

GEN:
An open area of semi-improved grassland within the city of Cambridge. Crossed by footpaths and a number of streams.

ANOTES:
The common has open access to the public. It is heavily used for informal recreation and as a through-route. It is crossed by surfaced footpaths.

SOURCE:
Field survey by N.Penford 1988. "The Common Lands of Cambridgeshire" 1956. Cambridgeshire County Council.

GNOTES:
1 right registered to graze a total of 20 beasts (cows, geldings and mares) from 1st April to 30th November. The right is not attached to land and is held by the owners of the common. The common is a valuable area of semi-natural habitat in an urban environment and has interesting ditch flora.


GEN:
The common is a narrow strip of land bounded by the lode to the east and a residential area to the west. Most of it has been converted to allotments.

ANOTES:
Public access along a track which runs adjacent to the lode along the western boundary. The track is used by pedestrians, cyclists and runners. There is no access to the allotments except to allotment holders.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch 1988. "The Common Lands of Cambridgeshire", Cambs. County Planning Dept. 1956

GNOTES:
1 right registered to graze 5 beasts (mares, geldings, cows) unlimited in time. The right is held by the owners of the common. During the 1914-19 war the common was taken over for use as allotments and this has continued over much of the area ever since.


GEN:
An open area of grassland within the city of Cambridge, used for informal recreation.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by two public footpaths, but the whole area is open for public access and quiet recreation. It is mostly used as a short-cut by residents. Students use the area for informal games.

GNOTES:
Rights have been registered to graze 4 beasts (mares, geldings, cows) from 1st April to 30th November. The rights are held by the owners of the common and are not exercised. The common is bordered to the west by a main road, and by quieter access roads to the north and south.


GEN:
Semi-improved neutral grassland and Salix scrub lying adjacent to the River Lark.

ANOTES:
Public footpaths run along the raised banks of the river Lark and its tributary on the boundaries of the common. One footpath runs directly into the small village of Isleham to the south. The nature of the habitat- seasonally inundated grassland and dense scrub - and the fact that the land is intensively grazed means that the common is not suitable for recreation.

GRAZINT:
The common was heavily grazed at the time of the survey. The common is subject to seasonal flooding, and grazing is restricted to times when the grassland is dry.

SOURCE:
CWT Isleham Wash file. Surveys by local bird club. Botanical survey by D.Wells. RSPB survey by J.Cadbury.

GNOTES:
The common has no registered owner and is subject to Section 9 (1965 Act) protection. There are no registered rights. The CWT tried to negotiate a nature reserve agreement with the parish council, but were unsuccessful. The common is currently (January 1988) subject to a planning application to build a marina. A previous application for a BMX track was turned down.


GEN:
The common is a large, open area of semi-natural grassland, adjacent to the small village of Soham. It is part of a complex of commons surrounding the village.

ANOTES:
The common is situated to the east of Soham and is crossed by a minor road from the village. Public footpaths form a network over the northern part of the common and 2 public footpaths cross the southern part joining the path along the bank of Soham lode on the western boundary. The common therefore has good access by means of rights of way and is suitable for quite recreation. The northern area is used for horse-riding and has jumps set up.

GRAZINT:
The common is unevenly grazed. The northern part is grazed by tethered horses which means that grazing is heavy in some areas. Small enclosures have been constructed which are heavily grazed. The southern part is very patchily grazed. Overall, grazing is moderate.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch 1988 and conversations with residents whilst on site.

GNOTES:
No rights registered. There is a claim to rights of way in fee simple by the Trustees of Soham Moor in the Land Section notes. The common is a large area of semi-natural vegetation, with some interesting small wetland communities, and is used by breeding waders. It is of at least moderate conservation importance.


GEN:
Predominantly neutral grassland, divided by a disused railway and semi-improved meadows, adjacent to the River Ouse. Scrub is scattered, and trees have been planted. Signs of ridge and furrow occurs south of the railway.

OWNERS:
Owned by Huntingdon and Godmanchester Town Council.

ANOTES:
A bridlepath crosses from east-west, just south of the disused railway. A footpath runs north-east to south-west across the lower half of the common. The footpath proved quite difficult to find from the western end.

GRAZINT:
The Rhymers is ungrazed and being invaded by thistles. The area south-east of the railway is very heavily grazed, as reflected in the presence of abundant Juncus and Deschampsia cespitosa tussocks.

GEN:
An area of semi-improved, neutral grassland within an intensively farmed area.

ANOTES:
A public footpath is shown on the 1:50,000 map, but it is impossible to find on the ground. The main gate is padlocked.

GRAZINT:
At the time of the site visit 23 cattle and 3 horses were present. Grazing was very uneven. Previous surveys reported that the site was over-stocked and consequently closely grazed.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch 1988. Information from NCC files. "The Common Lands of Cambridgeshire", by D.Wells 1980. Survey by R. Payne.

GNOTES:
5 rights registered: 4 to graze cattle and horses, 1 to graze cattle only. 2 rights are limited from 1st May to 31st October, 2 are cross-referenced with CL32 and 1 with CL33. The common is considered to be of considerable botanical importance, although this has seems to have been reduced in recent years, probably by grazing pressures.


GEN:
A large field of semi-natural grassland with a small pond.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a public footpath.

GRAZINT:
Moderate. The common is probably grazed all year round.

GNOTES:
3 rights of pasture registered for cattle and horses from 1st May to 31st October.


GEN:
Two parcels of land within the village of Witchford. The western part is rough land bounded by a road and residential area. The eastern part is a narrow strip of land adjacent to Grunty Fen.

ANOTES:
The western area has open access, except to wheeled vehicles. Residents have cut paths to their gardens, but other paths are apparently kept open by use.

GRAZINT:
Very low. At the time of visit the common was ungrazed, but the western section is apparently intermittently grazed by tethered horses and ponies.

SOURCE:
Site visit by M.Finch and N.Penford 1988 and conversation with local resident.

GNOTES:
No rights registered, but the council encourage people to graze stock on the common. The area to the west used to be a pit and was generally flooded and good for wildfowl. After  World War II it was filled in using rubble from dismantled air-raid shelters and covered in top soil. Recently plans to turn the area into a children's play area were shelved due to the proximity of the road.


GEN:
An area of ungrazed grassland within an industrial estate. Species-poor with ruderals present.

ANOTES:

GNOTES:
1 right registered to graze a total of 20 geldings, mares and cows during the period 1st April to 30th November. This is subject to regulation by the Corporation. The common is adjacent to CL 76, separated from it only by a main road.


GEN:
A large area of open grassland within the city of Cambridge. The common is used for both grazing and for quiet recreation.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by footpaths and has open access to pedestrians. Some seats have been provided but recreation is of low priority. A children's play area has been fenced off at the south-west corner but does not appear to be within the common boundary.

GRAZINT:
Very light over the common as a whole, but the animals tend to graze unevenly so that some areas are heavily grazed and others left virtually untouched. At the time of the survey the common was grazed by a total of 13 horses and 12 cattle.

GNOTES:
Rights registered to graze a total of 53 geldings, entire horses and cows from 1st april to 30th november. The council has bye-laws to prevent tipping, camping, lighting fires etc, which seem to be effective.


GEN:
A flat pasture adjacent to a backwater of the River Nene.

ANOTES:
Good public access. The part of the common west of the bridge has a stile and is way-marked. The eastern part is managed as a picnic area with tables, litter bins and footpaths cleared.

GRAZINT:
Grazing is heavy on the western part of the site. The eastern part is possibly grazed in winter. Overall grazing is moderate.

SOURCE:
Site visit by N.Penford and M.Finch 1988

GNOTES:
No rights are registered. The common is managed partly as pasture and partly for quiet recreation. It is especially popular with anglers.


GEN:
A large area of semi-improved neutral grassland, divided by a tributary of the River Ouse and by a minor road and trunk into 4 unequal sized parts.

ANOTES:
A public footpath runs across the eastern corner of the main part of the common, and a path follows the course of the old railway. The site is bisected by a trunk road, and the south western corner is crossed by a minor road. The area west of this road is fenced off and there is no access to the public. The common is between the towns of Huntingdon and Godmanchester.

GRAZINT:
Variable. The small field west of the minor road was heavily grazed at the time of the visit, but the main part of the common was being cropped for hay, so grazing had been suspended.

SOURCE:
BHWT survey 1986. `Cambridgeshire Riverside Meadows Survey RJ.Newman 1987. Brief site visit by M.Finch 1988.

GNOTES:
There are 44 rights registered for the common in total, all of which are attached to land. These rights are to graze cattle and horses from 13th May to 23rd November, and 41 of these are also to graze sheep from 24th November to 14th February. (3 rights allow for the grazing of sheep to be unlimited in time.)


GEN:
The common is a drove road in the middle of washland. The surrounding washland is of international importance for wintering wetland birds.

ANOTES:
The common is marked as a track on the map, but there is no right of public access. Current usage is low, and increased recreational use could cause disturbance to birds on the surrounding washlands.

GRAZINT:
No grazing except by cattle browsing as they are moved along the track.

SOURCE:
Nene Washes SSSI file. Grassland habitat survey, 1983. Nene Washes ISR information.

GNOTES:
No rights registered. The common is used for vehicular access and for moving cattle. Much of the surrounding Washland is owned by the RSPB. The common, although of limited interest in its own right, is within Nene Washes SSSI and ISR site, which are of international importance for water birds and national importance for invertebrates.


GEN:
Rough grassland and roadside verge, with scrub and trees. Part of the Nene Washes SSSI, a site of international importance for wetland birds.

ANOTES:
The common is just north of the town of Whittlesey, and adjoins a road along its western boundary. It is crossed by a track, but there is no public right of way. However, since most of it is roadside verge, it is probably used by people avoiding walking in the road.

SOURCE:
Nene Washes SSSI file held by NCC. Nene Washes ISR site information.

GNOTES:
No rights registered. The main interest of the site is as part of a large complex of washlands that are of international importance for birds. The washes are also of value to invertebrates.


GEN:
Semi-improved grassland with two small overgrown ponds.

GNOTES:
The common has rights for grazing mares or geldings or an ox-cow, steer or heifer, from 1st June to 1st January. The rights are cross-referenced with those under Cl 6.


GEN:
An area of low-lying grassland subject to seasonal flooding, which is enclosed by the high banks of the Old and N Bedford Rivers.

GNOTES:
1 right to graze cattle and horses from 1st May to 31st Oct. Cross-referenced to CL32. Part of site floods in winter. Western area outside SSSI is less interesting than eastern block.


GEN:
One of the largest areas of alluvial flood meadow type grassland in England, still managed traditionally as `Lamma meadow'. The common is surrounded by channels of the River Ouse.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by 3 public footpaths, forming a triangle which roughly follows the site boundaries.

GRAZINT:
From management information held by the NCC it appears that grazing intensity is high, and the vegetation is well grazed down during the autumn.

SOURCE:
SSSI Notification and site monitoring files. Site visit by N.Penford 1988.

GNOTES:
7 rights registered in total. 3 are to graze horses/beasts, 3 to graze cattle/sheep, and 1 to graze cattle, sheep or horses. The registered rights do not reflect the `closed season' typical of Lammas meadows. The common is a SSSI and NCR site.


GEN:
Improved grassland in two meadows, separated by the minor road to Offord Cluny.

OWNERS:
Owned by the Offord Cluny Poors Estate Charity.

ANOTES:
Access is officially restricted to members of the Angling Society, but regulation of people using the common other than anglers is lax. The southern area is used as a car-park and the banks on both parts of the common are mown short to allow access by anglers.

SOURCE:
Site visit by N.Penford and M.Finch, 1988. BHWT Huntingdonshire Botanical Survey, 1985.

GNOTES:
No rights registered. The common is managed entirely for angling and was considered to be of no natural history interest in a previous survey by the BHWT. However the northern part of the common could with suitable management be of far greater value and management for wildlife could also increase its attractiveness to people using the common.


GEN:
The common supports a range of habitats, from ancient broad-leaved woodland to scrub and unimproved grassland.

ANOTES:
A road used as a public footpath runs through the site.

GRAZINT:
Grazing is apparently moderate, and is monitored by the NCC. Deer-grazing is a problem in the woodland.

GNOTES:
There are 26 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (10); sheep, cattle and horses (11); sheep and horses (1); sheep and cattle (2); cattle only (1). There is also one pasture right given in stints. Other rights are: estovers (10 - for bracken); turbary (6); common in the soil (11 - incl. 5 each for stone and gravel). 

Two rights entries are held in gross (i.e. not attached to land). The National Trust holds 5 rights entries. 

A total of 25 rights are cross-referenced: CL 168C (4); CL 255C (1); CL 394C (9); CL 479C (11). Twenty entries should have been cross-referenced to CLs 11C and 74C, even though on these commons, some relate to part of the unit only. There is a claim of easement to erect and maintain a reservoir and pipeline and to draw water from a beck. 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Part lies within the Buttermere Fells SSSI.

GEN:
Steep-sided fells stretching from Angle Tarn and along both sides of Langstrath Beck. Most extensive habitat is acidic grassland. Other habitats include flush, valley mire, blanket and basin mire, acidic rocks/screes and dry heath.

OWNERS:
Five owners relating to five separate parts of this unit including the National Trust and the Lake District Farm Estates.

ANOTES:
The common lies remote from any road communication but is crossed by a number of well-used footpaths and bridleways. The site occupies a glaciated valley with Angle Tarn at the head of the valley in the south-western corner. There are walking routes around the rim of the valley, with several paths also descending into and running along the valley bottom. Important peaks around the periphery include High Raise, Esk Pike, Allen Crags and Glaramara. As with other popular sections of the Lakeland Fells, there is a significant erosion problem along paths/tracks. Noted, for example, during the site visit were sections of the footpath along Greenup Edge which, where they cross pockets of blanket peat, have cut wide scars into the peat surface. Probably use also by mountain bikes etc.

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Includes a tiny part of the Loughrigg Fell Flushes SSSI (i.e. 0.45 ha = 0.12 per cent of the area of the common/3.3 per cent of the area of the SSSI).

Coincident with one (and possibly more) Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Sites" (see text/references).


GEN:
An area of upland acidic grassland lying on Wansfell, to the east of Ambleside. Small areas of acidic flushing.

OWNERS:
The National Trust as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
Owned by the National trust and therefore subject to certain provsions for public access under the National Trust Act, 1907. The common is crossed by three well-used public footpaths. It is not far from Ambleside and is therefore visited by numerous walkers. Excellent views from the top of Wansfell. Footpath repair evident in some areas (stone pitching).

GNOTES:
One right of turbary. Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.

Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
A major block of upland forming a wide horseshoe to the north of Grasmere. The most extensive habitat is acidic grassland, with associated rock outcrops and local stands of bracken. Other important habitats include basin mires, valley mires and various flushes, dry heath and juniper scrub.

ANOTES:
The common is bisected by the A591 Windermere-Keswick road as it ascends Dunmail Raise. There is an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways across the common. Those to the east from a route up to Fairfield and along the ridge along the edge of the horseshoe, running southwards along Great Rigg, Rydal Fell and Heron Pike.

To the west, the main path follows Far Easedale Gill, but there are other routes along a number of lesser Gills. These lead to the western side of the horseshoe formed by Blea Rigg and, after crossing the contiguous commons, High Raise and Greenup Edge. These routes are all well-used by fellwalkers. The gradient and terrain are also often favorable to encourage use by mountain bikes. There are localised erosion problems, primarily on soft terrain, for example where the paths cross flushes and peat. There has been some repair work carried out by the National Trust out on affected sections. Examples of this were noted while traversing the path along Far Easedale Gill and also stone steps/pitching on the path to the west of Easedale Tarn (GR NY 302 084).  

White Moss Common (NY 346 065). National Trust car park in disused quarry next to A591. Information sign about the site. Circular walk around the perimeter of this small outlying portion of the common, mainly along minor roads/tracks, but with a steep, rough track bewteen the quarry car park and White Moss Tarn. This car park is very well-used, being situated next to a major road through the heart of the Lake District, with close proximity to Rydal Water and Grasmere.

GNOTES:
There are 21 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (14); sheep and cattle (4); sheep, cattle and ducks (1); sheep, cattle and horses (1); horses only (1). There is also a right of common in the soil for "Pinnel" (i.e. gravel), registered over part of the unit only. The National Trust holds nine of the rights entries on behalf of tenants. Two rights entries are cross-referenced: CL 75W and CL 79W. 

The Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct hound trails across the common. 

Contiguous with CLs 75W, 57W, 160W and 413C. The common coincides with a number of Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Sites" (see text/references). Also lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
A small area at the edge of the open fell adjacent to Patterdale. Appears to include a small basin mire known as Mill Moss. Adjacent habitats are acidic grassland with some scattered bracken.

ANOTES:
Lies adjacent to the A592 near to the southern tip of Ullswater. Crossed by a public footpath. This is fairly well-used, forming a route to St. Sunday Crag from Patterdale.

GNOTES:
There are two rights of pasture for sheep only.

Contiuguous with CL 57W.

The common lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.

Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
An area of open fell bounded by St. John's Beck and Naddle Beck. Supports a mosaic of rock outcrops, acidic grassland and bracken. Small areas of scree. One small tarn.

ANOTES:
An unmetalled road runs along the NW edge of the common, while a bridleway crosses the SW corner. These routes are probably regularly used by walkers, with a party of several such individuals encountered. A sign has been erected next to the track which says "No camping".

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985). Site visit.

GNOTES:
There are 10 rights of pasture, registered in stints, as follows: sheep only (4); sheep and cattle (1); sheep, cattle and horses (5). Other rights are: estovers (4 - bracken); common in the soil (6 - three each for gravel and stone); turbary (1). Two entries are held in gross (i.e. by a specified group or individuals rather than attached to land/property). 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
Lies to the south of the River Glenderamackin and Blencathra. Comprises fairly gentle north-facing slopes with a primarily marshy grassland sward.

ANOTES:
Two minor tracks adjoin the northern edge of the common, probably for farm/graziers use only. An unmetalled road, the "Old Coach Road", runs along the south-western boundary. There appear to be no other rights of way across the common which is probably not much visited vy fellwalkers. However, paragliding was noted on occasion while driving along the A66(T).

GNOTES:
There are 25 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep and cattle (12); cattle only (2); sheep only (1); sheep, cattle and and horses (8). There is also a single right of estover (bracken - for "bedding and thatch". There is one claim to a right of way. 

Contiguous with CLs 67C and CL 123C. 

The common lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
A steep, west-facing hillside lying along the eastern side of Thirlmere/St. John's in the Vale. Forms a north-westerly extension of the Helvellyn Massif. Main habitat is acidic grassland with some scree/rock outcrops. Lichen/bryophyte heath on summit area between Helvellyn and Raise.

ANOTES:
The northern edge of the common follows an unmetalled road known as the "Old Coach Road". A number of footpaths and bridleways cross the common. Routes to the south are probably the most heavily-used by fell-walkers, with that following Helvellyn Gill forming an extremely well-used route to the summit of this hill (which lies just south of the boundary of the common). The Helvellyn area as a whole is an extremely popular walking area and this has led to severe and quite extensive footpath erosion problems which are being gradually addressed by the National Park Authority. 

In the winter months, ice climbing is a popular activity on north and east facing crags around Helvellyn. This includes Brown Cove, to the extreme south of this common, and may pose a threat to the rare arctic-alpine flora of these situations.

Other activities taking place on Helvellyn include fell-running, orienteering, rock climbing and scrambling (a sort of half way house between fellwalking and rock climbing). There is also a limited amount of horse riding and mountain biking, although these are impeded by the steepness of the terrain. 

Noted from Clough Head: hang-gliding/paragliding. Several walkers seen on the summit.

GEN:
A small field of improved grassland lying near to the River Glendermackin, to the east of Blencathra.

ANOTES:
Lies adjacent to a minor, metalled road. No public access onto the common, which is indistinguishable from the surrounding improved fields.

GNOTES:
The parish council, who registered the common, have apparently registered the "right of commoners to use as field gardens". The interpretation of this is not clear but it does not appear to be a registrable right under the Commons Registration Act, 1965. 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
This common is less than the survey threshold of 1.0 ha and has therefore not been included in the Biological Survey.

GNOTES:
Measured area less than registered area (and also less than 1.0 ha survey threshold).


OWNERS:
Matterdale Parish Council as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
A minor, metalled road runs across one edge of the common. There are no other public rights of way across the common, which appears to have no recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (basic habitat information only). Field survey.

GNOTES:
There is one right of turbary, registered by the parish council for "the inhabitants of the ancient township of Matterdale to dig peat". 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
A small common centered on the hamlet of Hesket Newmarket comprising grassland of various types, some of which has the appearance of a village green.

ANOTES:
The common lies alongside and is crossed by the road through the village. There appears to be {\it de facto} access to most of the common. Part is closely mown amenity grassland and adjoins a number of roads which form a junction in the centre of the hamlet. The main part, known as "The Green", has an area where the annual bonfire is held, plus the site of the marquee for the annual fete, which also appears to be held on the common. An area of bare ground has been cleared and is used as a car park for the hamlet.

GNOTES:
Five rights of pasture (two for cattle only, two for cattle and geese, plus one for geese and hens). One entry appears to be held in gross (ie. by a specified individual or group, rather than attached to land/property). There is also a claim "to the right to site a fixed greenhouse on the common for three geese and twelve hens". 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. 

Measured area less than registered area. Note dumping of garden rubbish on the common.


GEN:
Apparently an old green lane leading up onto the Caldbeck Fells supporting neutral grassland, with smaller areas of scattered scrub and trees. Flanked by some tall trees.

OWNERS:
Two private owners as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
A bridleway follows the track along the entire length of the common. This is signposted from the road and may be lightly used.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1986). Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
Three rights of pasture registered (one entry for hens, ducks and geese, one entry for sheep, cattle and hens, and one entry for sheep and cattle). 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. 

Note presence of dumping on common.


GEN:
Part of the Skiddaw Fells Group, lying to the east, along the southern side of the valley of the infant River Caldew. Habitats include acidic grassland and dry {\it Calluna} heath. Small flush features present. Also includes Bowscale Tarn/Bowscale Moss, a small basin mire.

ANOTES:
Eastern tip crossed by a minor, metalled, unfenced road. An old mine track runs up the northern side of the Caldew Valley and passes close to the NW edge of the common. This is also a public bridleway and part of the "Cumbria Way". A second bridleway runs from the hamlet of Bowscale up to the tarn of the same name. This was created in the 19th century to allow carriages to reach this site, made famous by Wordsworth. The track up to the old mine provides vehicular access and car parking to this part of the fells, being clogged with cars on summer weekends. Many visitors enjoy picnics/swimming etc., close to here, along the river (i.e. GR NY 329 327). Some overnight camping was also noted to take place in this vicinity. Bridleways probably also popular for mountain biking.

OWNERS:
Two private owners each relating to different parts of the unit.

ANOTES:
Crossed to the north-east by a minor, metalled, unfenced road, primarily for use by farmers, estate staff and graziers. This road runs up from the hamlet of Helton and passes across the valley of Mossy Beck, before leaving the common. It is also used by members of the public, parking at various points along the edge of the road or on the grass, to engage in recreational activities: walking, dog walking, kite flying etc. The Lowther Estate have provided signs requesting that dogs are kept on a lead and that there is no tipping of rubbish. An unmade track/public bridleway leaves this route in a north-westerly direction, providing a route to Pooley Bridge. This route appears popular for use by mountain bikes and pony trekkers.

The remainder of the common appears to have little, if any recreational use by the public.

GEN:
A small disused limestone quarry with a mosaic of neutral and calcareous grassland, scattered scrub and trees, plus an area of broadleaved woodland.

OWNERS:
Dacre Parish Council as directed by the Commons Commissioner. Original claimant cancelled.

ANOTES:
The common appears to have {\it de facto} access, being situated at the edge of the village of Stainton, and frequented by local people. There are several well-worn paths throughout the quarry. The entrance to the quarry is gated and padlocked to prevent unauthorised vehicles entering. Signs within the quarry warn of the dangers of the old quarry faces.

GNOTES:
One right of common in the soil "to take stone". This appears to have been originally registered as a community right, but the entry was modified by the Commons Commissioner to just one person.


GEN:
A section of Ullswater lying close to Watermillock, within the former county of Cumberland.

OWNERS:
Lake District Special Planning Board as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
The lake of Ullswater has a high recreational pressure, especially at localities such as Patterdale/Glenridding, Aira Point, Pooley Bridge, Howtarn and Sandwick. Use of the lake by pleasure cruiser (M.V. Raven), dinghies, canoes, rowing boats, small power boats etc., but with a 10 mph speed limit in force. Various landing stages. Fishing.

SOURCE:
Invertebrate Site Register: Ullswater (ungraded). Not visited.

GNOTES:
There is a single right entry specifying "Fishing in Severalty" applicable to the whole of the CL unit. This right is held in gross (ie. by a specific group or individual, rather than attached to land/property).

Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
A complex of broad roadside verges at the village of Ellonby with dense scrub plus a range of other habitats.

ANOTES:
The common lies to the west of a minor, metalled road at the Village of Ellonby. The site is unfenced from the road and appears to have {\it de facto} access by local people. One part of the common is regularly mown and used as a playing field, with goalposts, swings and seats provided.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1983, 1984). Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site": ref. E/NY43/07. Site visit.

GNOTES:
Four rights of pasture registered as "Rights to graze". This entry appears to be incorrect as it is unquantified. It also appears to be held in gross (ie. by a specified individual, rather than attached to land/property). The site is a Cumbris Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site" and was formerly a trust reserve. Note some dumping of rubbish to the extreme south of the common.


GEN:
An area of rank rush-dominated marshy grassland with some scrub and wet heath on drier ground.

OWNERS:
Subject to the protection of the local authority under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act, 1965.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a bridleway. This appears unused, however, with the gate at the eastern point of entry being in a decrepit condition, being lashed together with old bits of conduit, pig wire, barbed wire and string etc. The site appears unvisited by the public.

GNOTES:
One registered right of pasture specifies "25 beasts" (cattle).


GEN:
A small common with a diverse range of habitats including broadleaved woodland, scrub and semi-improved grassland.

OWNERS:
Joint ownership between three private owners as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
The common lies alongside an unclassified metalled road and is crossed by both a bridleway and two public footpaths. Much of the site is overgrown and the rights of way are mostly impossible of follow. A new gravel track leads down from the road to a cottage on the opposite side of the common.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985) - single target note. Site survey.

GNOTES:
There is one right registered. This specifies pasture for cattle and the right of common in the soil (stone). This right is held in gross (ie. by a specified individual, rather than attached to property/land). Note the presence of houses/gardens on the common (predating registration) and the occurrence of tipping, apparently by a local farmer, in a disused quarry.


GEN:
Remnant blanket mire and wet heath, giving way to {\it Juncus effusus}-dominated marshy grassland. Lies adjacent to an extensive area of forestry plantation.

ANOTES:
The common is reached by an unclassified, metalled road. This runs along the eastern edge of the common, from which it is fenced. There are no other public rights of way across the common, and being in a remote part of the county, is unlikely to be visited by the public.

SOURCE:

The common has 20 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (5); sheep and cattle (3); sheep, cattle and ponies (7); sheep and ponies (3); ponies (1); sheep, cattle, ponies and geese (1). Other rights are as follows: turbary (4); estovers (3 - bracken). 

A number of the rights entries are cross-referenced. There appear to be errors in the register in this regard, but the apparent position is as follows: CL 10W (7), CLs 14W, 20W and 108W (1). Part of the confusion is because some of the rights entries on the other commons have since been cancelled. 

Contiguous with CLs 8W and 14W. Registered by the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. The common is subject to "The (Draft) Manchester (Shap Aqueduct) Order, 1972", which was confirmed on 7.3.74. (see under CL 8W for full details). 

Most of the common lies within the Shap Fells SSSI and also within the Lake District ESA. Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
A block of upland acidic grassland on the western fringe of the Birkbeck Fells complex.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (? date). English Nature SSSI files: Shap Fells. Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has two rights of pasture. The first entry is for 60 sheep and 12 cattle. The second is given as two stints, where one stint is either 5 ewes plus lambs or one cow. This right is also held in gross (i.e. held by a specified party, rather than being attached to land/property). This right appears to no longer be cross-referenced to CL 9W. Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. 

Lies entirely within the Shap Fells SSSI and also within the Lake District ESA. Contiguous with CLs 8W and 9W.


GEN:
An outlying section of hillside above Bretherdale Beck, part of the Birkbeck Fells group, to the south of Shap. Mostly upland acidic grassland.

ANOTES:
A minor, metalled road crosses the eastern edge of the common. There appear to be no other public rights of way and the common is unlikely to have significant recreational pressure.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (?date). Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has 7 rights of pasture. These are quoted in stints which give a right to graze sheep and cattle, in a ratio of 5 sheep to 1 cow. Sheep are restricted to the period between 10th October to 26th April and cattle to between 1st June and 10th October. One right is held in gross (i.e. by a specified party rather than attached to land/property). 

Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee.

Lies within the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
An area of upland fell to the south-west of Tebay mainly comprising upland acidic grassland. Small remnant of blanket mire. Fringes of hill have stands of bracken.

ANOTES:
The eastern edge adjoins the A685 Kendal to Tebay road. This runs along the Lune Gorge, which is very steep-sided at this point and there appears to be no access onto the common from the road. However the common is crossed elsewhere by both a public bridleway and a road used as a public path (RUPP). These may be used occasionally by walkers, but the area does not seem to have a high recreational pressure.

GNOTES:
The common has 17 rights of pasture, registered as follows: sheep only (7); horses only (1); sheep and horses (7); sheep, cattle and horses (2). Two entries also have the right to turn out rams, limited to the months of December and January. There are also rights of turbary (7), estovers (6) and common in the soil (3 - two for stone and one for gravel). 

There is one claim to a right of way for access and the Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct hound trails across the common between the dates of 1st March to 31st October. Registered by COSFP Soc.  Contiguous with CL 100W along the northern edge. 

Measured area greater than registered area. Lies within the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
An area of upland fell to the west of Tebay. Mostly comprising steep slopes of acidic grassland, with a small plateau having blanket bog.

ANOTES:
The western end of the common is crossed by a road used as a public footpath (RUPP) - "Breasthigh Road". This may be used by occasional walkers. There appears to be no public access to the remainder of the common.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (? date). Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has 6 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (3); sheep and cattle (1); sheep and ponies (1); sheep, ponies and cattle (1). There are also rights of turbary (2) and estovers (3). Contiguous with CLs 41W and 108W.

Lies within the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
A section of upland fell at the head of Bretherdale. On the plateau to the west is blanket bog, with small remnants elsewhere.  The slopes to the east have acidic grassland, with flush complexes locally. Fringe to the east has bracken and trees.

ANOTES:
A public bridleway runs from the plateau on the western side and leads down into Breterdale Beck to the east. This path was viewed on the western plateau and appears seldom-used, although a stile is provided at the boundary of the common. Unlikely to be any recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (?date). Site visit to part.

GNOTES:
The common has three rights of pasture for sheep and cattle. One is held in gross (i.e. by a specified party rather than being attached to land/property). One right is cross-referenced to CLs 9W, 10W, 14W and 20W. However, note that i). in respect of the cross-reference to CL 9W, that the original right entry, which related to CL 108W, has now been cancelled and ii). the corresponding rights for the other three cross-references have also been cancelled. 

The common is subject to "The (Draft) Manchester (Shap Aqueduct) Order, 1972", which was confirmed on 7.3.74. (see under CL 8W for full details). Contiguous with CLs 8W and 100W. Lies within the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
An area of upland acidic grassland forming part of the Grayrigg Fell/Whinfell hills. Several acidic flush features, plus smaller areas of wet heath/acidic grassland.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by an unmade track which is also a public bridleway; otherwise there is no other way of reaching it. Situated in a fairly remote part of the county and away from any popular recreational sites, it is unlikely to be visited extensively or have any recreational value.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1986). Cumbria Wildlife Trust site files: "Grayrigg Flush and Heath", site ref. S/SD59/21. Not visited.

GNOTES:
Two rights of pasture for sheep. There is also a claim to the right to take water from the common and access to maintain water pipes. In addition, the Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct Hound Trails across the common. 

Small part is coincident with a Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site". Lies within the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
A common on the western fringe of the Crosby Ravensworth Fell complex, crossed by the M6 Motorway. Most of the common comprises an acidic grassland sward, although there are remnants of formerly more extensive dry heath vegetation.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by the M6 Motorway (fenced) and also by the B6261 Orton to Shap road, which has a connection to Junction 39 on the M6, itself also situated on the commom. At the sides of this latter road are lay-bys used by motorway traffic. Where the B6261 turns south onto the common (GR NY 574 125) there is a cattle grid and the remainder of the road is unfenced from the common. Just after the cattle grid are also well-used bare earth lay-bys, this time mainly used by sightseers and picnicking motorists. In addition, there are a number of unmade roads and also two public footpaths across the common, but these are probably only slightly-used.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (? 1985). English Nature SSSI files: Crosby Ravensworth Fell. English Nature Heather Condition Survey, R. Jerram, 1991. Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There are 7 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (2); sheep, cattle and horses (2); sheep and cattle (3). The owner has one right registered on behalf of a tenant. Several rights entries are cross-referenced: CL 10W (3); CL 12W (1 - although this right has now been cancelled on CL 12W) and CL 13W (1). 

The Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct hound trails across the commom between 1st March and 31st October. This claim was disputed by the Commoners. Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. 

Part lies within the Crosby Ravensworth Fell SSSI, itself forming a part of the Asby Complex pSAC. Contiguous with CLs 10W and 12W. 

Note various encroachments, the M6 Motorway, link road and resulting internal fencing on the common.


GEN:
An area to the north-western edge of the Crosby Ravensworth Fells complex, mainly consisting of acidic grassland. Part also covered by a Limestone Pavement Order.

ANOTES:
Crossed by a minor, metalled, unfenced road. There are also several public footpaths, but these are unlikely to be heavily used.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (? 1985). English Nature Limestone Pavement Notification: Limestone Pavements of the Asby Complex, 1990. Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has one registered right of pasture for sheep. This is held by Shap Fell Limestone Ltd. and is for sheep to the value of 44 stints (1 stint = 5 ewes plus 5 lambs plus 7 hogs). The right is therefore held in gross i.e. by a specified party, rather than being attached to land/property. 

Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Commitee. Contiguous with CLs 10W, 11W, 13W, 15W and 104W. 

Ancient stone circle present on common.


GEN:
A small common at the extreme fringe of the Crosby Ravensworth complex, with a sward of acidic grassland.

ANOTES:
Lies adjacent to a minor, metalled road, from which it is fenced.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (? 1985). Not visited.

GNOTES:
There is one grazing right for "153 ewes and 60 hoggs", cross-referenced to CL 11W. Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. Ancient stone circle present on common. Contiguous with CLs 12W and 15W. Measured area greater than registered area.


GEN:
An area of moorland lying at the edge of the Lake District, just to the west of Shap village. Most extensive habitat is acidic grassland. Smaller areas of marshy grassland. Fairly diverse assemblage of flush and other mire features.

OWNERS:
Part owned by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the city of Manchester and part owned by one private owner.

ANOTES:
Crossed to the north by the minor, unfenced Swindale to Bampton road. A number of other unmade roads provide peripheral access onto the common and are probably used by graziers etc. There is a low density of public footpaths and bridleways. These are probably only lightly used by the public. There appear also to be large areas of remote/inaccessible land.

Note several small coniferised blocks (i.e. encroachments, presumably fenced).


GEN:
A hillside common supporting a mosaic of acidic grassland, gorse scrub plus scattered rock outcrops.

OWNERS:
Part owned by the Lord Mayor and Citizens of Manchester and part owned by one private owner.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed to the north-east by a minor, metalled, unfenced road. A track runs westwards across the area known as "The Howes". A bridleway also lies adjacent to the western tip. There appear to be no other rights of way on the common. Most of the site may be unused by the public, but the eastern end appears to be used by local people walking dogs etc. There is also a small caravan site in the nearby village of Bampton, and there may be occasional walkers acorss this end of the common.

GNOTES:
There are a total of 35 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (1); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (9); sheep and cattle (8); hens only (1); sheep, cattle, horses and poultry (1); one for sheep, geese and poultry (1); sheep, cattle and horses (7); sheep and horses (1); horses only (3); poultry and horses (1); cattle only (1); geese and poultry (1).

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Note encroachment: the siting of wooden sheds and garages within a disused quarry.


GEN:
A section of the flood plain of the River Lowther comprising heavily-grazed, improved grassland.

ANOTES:
A minor, metalled road adjoins the western edge of the common. A public footpath crosses the southern tip, where it crosses the River Lowther by means of an attractive wire swing bridge. The common appears to have {\it de facto} access by local people, being used as a route from Butterwick Cottages to the west, to walk to the river.

GNOTES:
The common has 42 rights of pasture registered by the Bampton Commoners association. These are registered as follows: sheep only (8); sheep, cattle and horses (6); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (9); sheep and cattle (9); sheep, cattle, horses and poultry (1), horses only (2); geese only (1); poultry only (2); horses and geese (1); cattle only (1); geese and poultry (4); geese only (15); poultry only (7).

Four rights entries are held in gross (i.e. by a specified individual or group, rather than attached to land/property). 

The common is contiguous with CL 89W (apart from the river, which is not registered). Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
An important area of limestone pavement and other outcrops in the Carboniferous Limestone. Surrounded by acidic grassland, plus some gorse scrub and dense bracken.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a metalled, unfenced minor road, three public footpaths and a bridleway. There are good views across the limestone scars and the whole of the common, from the path at Scarside Farm to the east. The area close to the River Lowther appears to have {\it de facto} access by local people.

A portion of the common is subject to a Limestone Pavement Order under Section 34 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981. The common lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. 

Contiguous with CL 88W (although the section of the River Lowther is excluded). An ancient stone circle is also present on the common.


GEN:
A small common straddling the River Lowther, mainly comprising overgrown neutral grassland.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a minor, metalled road which runs along its western edge. A path (not a public right of way) runs across the portion to the west of the river, regularly used by local people and this area appears to have {\it de facto} access. Also crossed by horseriders. The eastern portion appears to have no public access.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984). Field survey.

GNOTES:
39 rights of pasture (6 for sheep only; 9 for sheep, cattle, horses and geese; 1 for sheep, cattle and horses; 10 for cattle and sheep; 1 for cattle only; 2 for horses only; 1 for sheep, poultry and geese; 1 for geese only; 1 for geese and ponies; 3 for geese and poultry; 1 for geese and cattle; 1 for sheep, cattle, horses and poultry and 2 for poultry).

The owner has two rights registered. Two rights are held in gross (i.e. by a specified individual rather than attached to land/property). 

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
An area of acidic grassland to the east of Shap, crossed by the M6 Motorway.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed and therefore dissected by the M6 Motorway. It adjoins a minor, metalled road to the east and is crossed by two public footpaths. There is unlikely to be significant recreational use.

GNOTES:
There are five rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (1); sheep, cattle and horses (2); cattle only (2). Rights are given in stints, but these vary for each rightholder. For example, i). three and three quarter stints = 3 horses (less than 1 yr old) or 1 horse (more than 1 yr old or 3 cattle or 18 sheep or 26 lambs. ii). one stint = 3 cows plus calves. The owner has a right registered (for self) and there are four rights which are held in gross (i.e. by a specified party rather than attached to land/property). 

Contiguous with CL 12W. Note encroachments: the common is crossed by the M6 Motorway, which is of course fenced from the common.


GEN:
The largest parcel lies on the steeply sloping bank of the River Lowther and has a mosaic of scrub and trees turning to woodland, plus some neutral grassland. Two smaller pieces have neutral grassland with tall ruderal plants, plus scattered trees.

OWNERS:
Two private owners each relating to different parts of the unit as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
The two smaller parcels lie adjacent to minor metalled roads. The larger parcel has a metalled farm track running along its upslope edge; this is also a public footpath for part of its length. This may be popular with local people. However, there appears to be little access to the river bank, due to the steep slope and thick scrub. 

Of the two other portions, they appear to offer little recreational scope, although a small section of one has been 'adopted' by an adjoining householder and has the appearance of a private garden, with a mown area within which has been sited a childrens swing and see-saw, plus a mown track to a private seat. 

A pleasant locality with good views westwards to the central Lakes fells.

GRAZINT:
Part grazed lightly by cattle. Part not grazed.

GNOTES:
Two rights of pasture. One entry is for horses and cattle and the other is for horses, sheep, cattle and poultry (with cattle being restricted to two hours per day between 1st to 28th August). One right of piscary. 

There is also a claim by the Hound Trailing Association to conduct hound trails across the land. 

The common lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA. Measured area greater than registered area.

Note the various encroachments on the common: a bonfire site, plus the 'adoption' by an adjoining householder of part of the common as private garden. A wooden garage has also been erected on the common in this area.


GEN:
A small area of mainly improved grassland occupying a disused quarry to the south of the hamlet of Croglin.

ANOTES:
No public rights of way. Reached by a track from the adjacent minor road. No recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey. Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There is a single right of common in the soil, registered by the Parish Council, "for the inhabitants of Kirkoswald to take stone". Measured area greater than registered area.


GEN:
A small common to the south of Ravenstonedale mainly comprising {\it Calluna} dry heath and acidic grassland.

ANOTES:
The common lies in two parts. The larger portion adjoins a minor, metalled road and is crossed by a track which is also a public footpath. A small area of bare ground has been created at the village end as a result of people parking cars on the common, and there is also a bonfire site here. The footpath, and the remainder of the common may be visited by local people. The smaller portion of the common is a triangular plot of amenity grassland within the village itself, and has metalled roads along two edges.

GNOTES:
There are two rights of pasture. One specifies poultry only and is held in gross (i.e. by a specified party, rather than attached to land/property). The other entry is for sheep, cattle and geese. There is also one right of estovers and one of common in the soil. One right is cross-referecned to the contiguous CL 39W. There is a claim by two people to the right to: i). to be entitled to the sporting rights; ii). to beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
A steeply sloping site on the S. facing slope of a narrow valley at the W. edge of the N. Pennine Fells. Mostly dominated by dense bracken.

ANOTES:
A bridleway runs to the northern boundary of the common. There is no evidence of this on the ground, the route probably following the track which continues up the valley, further up-slope from the common. There appears to be no public use of this site.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (no target notes). Aerial photograph (August 1992). Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
The common has one right of pasture for sheep and cattle. This is held in gross (ie. by a specified individual, rather than the more usual situation of being attached to land/property). Lies within the North Pennines AONB.


GEN:
A small common on the bank of Croglin Water with habitats which include broadleaved woodland, dense bracken and dense scrub.

OWNERS:
Land subject to the protection of the local authority under Section 9 of the 1965 Commons Registration Act.

ANOTES:
The common lies adjacent to a minor, metalled road in an underpopulated part of the county. A public footpath adjoins one edge. There are no public rights of way on the common itself and it is unlikely to have any recreational use by the public.

GNOTES:
One right of pasture held as 3 stints (1 stint = 1 animal, stock type unspecified). Possibly a right of estover "to cut timber and brushwood", although the entry is rather vague. The rights appear to be held in gross (ie. by specified individuals, rather than attached to property/land). There is also the claim to a non-registrable right of shooting and fishing.


GEN:
The central, northern portion of the Howgill Fells. Mostly upland acidic grassland, with small remnants of blanket mire.

OWNERS:
Three private owners each relating to a different part of the common.

ANOTES:
The common cannot be reached by any metalled public roads. There are several small farm tracks leading onto the common from the north. A bridleway crosses the common running along the eastern edge. The Howgills are not especially popular with walkers, when compared to the Lake District Fells.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984?). Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has 26 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (9); sheep and cattle (4); sheep and horses (3); sheep, cattle and horses (9); horses only (1). Three rights for cattle are restricted; one to between April and May and two to between 1st May and 30th September. 23 entries are restricted in terms af area - i.e. exclude the parts called "Hazelgill Knott and The Grains" (22) or "Hazelgill Knott" (1). 

Other rights are as follows: turbary (6), common in the soil (5 - for stone) and estovers (8 in total, including one which specifies "reeds", two which specify bracken and one which specifies grass - all for bedding). 

A total of 10 entries are cross-referenced as follows: CL 45W (7) and CL 39W (3). There is a claim by two people to be entitled to: i). sporting rights; ii). beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

The common is contiguous with CL 45W to the west, CL 39W to the east and CL 26WR to the south. Part of the Howgill Fells are to be scheduled as SSSI on geological/geomorphological grounds.


GEN:
Lowland acidic grassland adjacent to Bothrigg Burn, located in the unspoilt and beautiful north-eastern part of Cumbria

OWNERS:
Joint ownership between two private owners.

ANOTES:
The common has no public rights of way either reaching it or across it, and being in a remote part of the county, is unlikely to be visited by the public. The nearest metalled roads are all gated.

GNOTES:
2 rights of pasture for cattle only, cross-referenced to the contiguous CL 497. The landowner is also a registered right holder. There is a claim to the rights and interests of the Lord of the Manor in respect of mines, minerals, shooting and sporting. Appears unfenced from the contiguous common.


GEN:
Two small sections of moorland in the remote north-eastern part of the county. Habitats are blanket bog and acidic grassland.

OWNERS:
Carlisle City Council as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
The smaller portion only lies adjacent to an unmetalled road. There no other rights of way crossing either part of the common. Lying in an extremely remote part of the county, has no recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985). English Nature Scientific files, Blackwell Office (NY 57/1).

GNOTES:
One entry in the rights section which allows both turbary (peat) and common in the soil (quarrying). Measured area greater than registered area. Threat of drainage and afforestation.


GEN:
Lowland acidic grassland, situated adjacent to Bothrigg Burn, in the unspoilt north-eastern part of Cumbria.

OWNERS:
Part owned by one private owner and part owned jointly between three private owners as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
There are no public rights of way leading to or across the common, which being in a remote part of the county, is probably never visited by the public. The nearest roads are all gated, therby discouraging casual visitors.

GNOTES:
1 right of pasture, held as 4 stints (1 beast per stint). This is cross-referenced to the contiguous CL 156, from which this common appears to be unfenced.


GEN:
A small disused quarry on the scarp-edge of the North Pennine ridge adjoining the A686 Melmerby - Alston road. Mostly acidic grassland, with limestone outcrops and calcareous grassland in the quarried areas.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by the A686 Melmerby to Alston road and also that making a junction with this road which leads down to the village of Renwick. Both roads are fenced from the common. There is no public access to the remainder of the site. There are panoramic views across the Vale of Eden from this point.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (habitat map only). Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There is one registered right of common in the soil "Right of inhabitants of Kirkoswald to take limestone". Measured area greater than registered area. The common has a very unusual boundary definition. It is an exact circle with a diameter of approximately 320m diameter. As such, it has no physical boundary with the surrounding pasture land. Lies within the North Pennines AONB.


OWNERS:
Owned jointly by two private owners as directed by the Commons Commissioner.


GEN:
A block of common land in the remote, extreme north-eastern tip of the county. All now comprising conifer plantation.

OWNERS:
The Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
Crossed by a number of forestry tracks. No public rights of way. Lies in an extremely remote and un-populated part of the county and is unlikely to be visited by the public.


GEN:
The north-western segment of the Howgill Fells. Mainly comprises upland acidic grassland overlying very steep fell-sides. Some areas of blanket bog. Local fringes of bracken around bases of marginal slopes.

ANOTES:
There are no metalled public roads across the common. The northern, less steep portion, is crossed by several farm tracks, most of which appear also to be public footpaths. Several other public footpaths cross this area. There appear to be no footpaths leading onto the summits, and this common is unlikely to be visited often by walkers.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984). Not visited.

GNOTES:
The common has 43 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (19); sheep and cattle (6); sheep, cattle and horses (15); horses only (1); sheep and horses (1); sheep, cattle, horses and pigs (1). One right for rams is restricted to between 20th November and 30th January. 

Other rights are: turbary (5), common in the soil (4 - for stone), plus "other rights of common if appurtenant" (1 - i.e. not specified). A total of 7 entries are cross-referenced to CL 42W and one is cross-referenced to CL 26WR.

There is, in addition, a claim by two people to the right to be entitled to: i). sporting rights, ii). beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

The common is contiguous with CL 42W to the east and CL 26WR to the south. Part of the Howgill Fells are due to be scheduled as SSSI on geological/geomorphological grounds. Registered by the COSFP Soc. 

Measured area greater than registered area.


GEN:
A common straddling the A683 to the SW of Ravenstonedale. Has a diverse mosaic of habitats which include acidic, marshy and calcicolous grasslands, remnants of dry heath and acidic flush. A site for {\it Blysmus compressus} and the nationally scarce {\it Primula farinosa}.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by and unfenced from the A683 Kirkby Stephen to Sedbergh road. Several other minor, metalled roads and ummade farm tracks join this. There are no other public rights of way, and the common appears to have no recreational use.

GNOTES:
There are 10 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep, cattle and horses (4); horses only (1); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (3); sheep, cattle, horses, geese and poultry (1); sheep, cattle, horses, geese and sows (1). Two cattle rights are limited to between 1st April and 30th November. 

Other rights are: estovers (7 - including one which specifies bracken and rushes); turbary (5); common in the soil (5 - for stone). A total of nine rights entries are cross-referenced: CL 33W (1); CL 37W (5); CL 40W (6) and CL 39W (5). There is also a claim by two people for the right to: i). to be entitled to sporting rights; ii). beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

Most of the common lies within a Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site".


GEN:
An area of fell-side south of Kirkby Stephen, lying along the western side of the Eden Valley. Several small outlying portions of the common lie to the opposite side of the Settle-Carlisle railway line.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a minor metalled, unfenced road, and it also adjoins a minor road. The northern portion, which lies close to the Settle-Carlisle railway line, is crossed by several public bridleways. The common is unlikely to be much visited by the public, although the northern portion may offer good photographic vantage points for southbound steam-hauled special trains on the railway!

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984?). Cumbria Wildlife Trust County Wildlife Site: Kirkby Stephen Common, ref. E/NY70/23. Not visited.

GNOTES:
There are 12 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep, cattle, horses and pigs (4 - one over part of unit only); sheep and cattle (5); sheep and horses (1); sheep, cattle and horses (2). 

Three entries are cross-referenced: CL 93W (3) and CL 94W (2). The owner has registered one of the rights on behalf of a tenant. There is a claim by the Hound Trailing Association to the right to conduct hound trails across the common. There is also a claim by two people to the right to: i). sporting rights, ii). beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

Contiguous with CLs 93W and 94W. Small part (i.e. 1.9ha or 0.66 per cent of the area) overlaps with a Cumbria Wildlife Trust site (see sources of information/references).


GEN:
A small common to the SE of Ravenstonedale which centres around a small pond in a hollow and surrounded by bands of vegetation which grade from swamp, to marshy grassland and then to acidic grassland.

ANOTES:
The common is adjoined by an unmetalled road and is crossed by a public footpath and a public bridleway. These rights of way to and across the common are difficult to negotiate from the nearby road, leading through farms, where it is impossible to see which way they go. The common is unlikely to be visited by the public very frequently.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984). Cumbria Wildlife Trust County Wildlife Site: Paradise Meadow, ref. E/NY70/14. Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
Four rights of pasture, all for sheep, cattle and horses. These are cross-referenced to CL 37W (1) and CL 39W (4). There is also one right of estovers. There is also a claim by two people to: i). To be entitled to sporting rights; ii). beds and seams of minerals and the right to work these and iii). turbary, piscary and timber. 

Measured area less than registered area. Most is Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site".


GEN:
Consists of a tract of upland habitat leading down from Wild Boar Fell along the western side of the Eden Valley. Crossed to the south by the Settle-Carlisle railway. Comprises upland acidic grassland with localised patches of blanket bog on the less-steep slopes, and marshy grassland along the valley bottom. Small area of limestone pavement at Angerholme Wold.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by the unfenced B6259 Kirkby Stephen to Garsdale Head road. One bridleway ascends the fellside from the Eden Valley and crosses the northern flanks of Wild Boar Fell. This is a well-used route and offers an excellent way to view the clints, grikes and other solution features on the northern section of the limestone pavements at Angerholme Wold. A public footpath and a further bridleway cross the south-eastern tip of the common. These rights of way may be used by occasional walkers. 

A further feature of recreational interest is that of the Settle-Carlisle railway, which crosses the southern part of the common. In fact the highest point on the route, Aisgill Summit, lies here. This is a well-known and attractive vantage point for photographers on the line and this locality is busy on occasions such as when there are steam-hauled special trains running, or diversions due to engineering work on the West Coast Main Line. The most popular spot, suitable for both northbound and southbound trains, is at the point where the road crosses over the railway (GR NY 774 970) and there is also the attractive Ais Gill viaduct at GR NY 773 975 (best for southbound trains!).

In addition, there are four rights of estover, five of turbary and six of common in the soil (stone - 4, gravel - 1, sand - 1). 

A total of 23 rights entries are cross-referenced: CL 93W (23) and CL 44W (2). The Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct hound trails across the common. Contiguous with CLs 40W, 44W, 29WR and North Yorkshire CL 38.

Includes two Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Sites" and also an area of limestone pavement at Angerholme Wold which has been notified by English Nature.


GEN:
A north-eastern section of the Crosby Ravensworth Fells Complex. Habitats include acidic and calcicolous grassland.

ANOTES:
Crossed by the B6260 Tebay to Appleby road and adjoins a minor, metalled road. Both are probably unfenced. In addition, the common is also crossed by a public footpath, bridleway and road used as a public path (RUPP). These may be used slightly by walkers, but the area is not particularly popular in this respect.

GNOTES:
The common has 6 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (4); sheep and cattle (1); sheep, cattle and ponies (1). Other rights are: turbary (3); common in the soil (1 - stone) and estovers (1). Two rights are cross-referenced to CL 10W (one for turbary and one for sheep and cattle). There is one claim to a right of access and one to water supply from the common. Registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. 

Contiguous with CL 10W. Ancient cairn present on site. Measured area greater than registered area.


GEN:
A small hill with patches of acidic grassland and dense bracken. Suppressed dry dwarf shrub on slope to north.

ANOTES:
The common adjoins the A66 Trunk Road along its southern edge. It is crossed by three public footpaths two unmade tracks. The footpaths are only lightly used by occasional walkers.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (habitat map only). Site survey.

GNOTES:
There are 9 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (6); sheep and ponies (1); sheep, cattle and ponies (2). Other rights are turbary (4); common in the soil (6 - 3 stone and 3 sand and gravel). The common is contiguous with CL 28W to the NW. 

Note presence of internal fencing and dumping of silage on the common.


GEN:
A relatively large area of acidic grassland, a large portion of which is used as a golf course. Other habitats include marshy grassland, bracken, and a large pond (Brackenber Flodders).

ANOTES:
The common is crossesd by a minor, metalled road which is unfenced from the common. It is also crossed by a public bridleway and several public footaths. A major portion of the common is used as a golf course. The club house, with associated parking, is also situated on the common. At the time of the site visit, an area to the north of the pond at Brackenber Flodders was being used as a park for several touring caravans (with cars also parked on the common here). The public rights of way across the common appeared fairly well-used.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1980, 1985). Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site": Brackenber Flodders, ref. E/NY71/07. Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There are a total of 39 pasture rights registered as follows: sheep only (4); sheep and horses (3); sheep, cattle and horses (5); horses only (1); sheep and cattle (6). In addition, 20 of the entries are held as stints (one sheep = one stint, one cow = five stints and one horse = seven stints). These entries are as follows: sheep only (4); sheep and horses (1 - plus cattle on part); horses only (1); sheep and cattle (3); sheep, cattle and horses (10); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (1). One right for cattle (included in the above stint for sheep and horses) is limited to an area known as 'Barley Field' to between 16th May and 31st October. The owner has two rights registered. 

Other rights are: turbary (15); common in the soil (3 - one for gravel and two for stone). A total of 38 of the rights entries are cross-referenced to other CL units: CL 27W (38), CL 26W (1), CL 29W (1), CL 30W (1), VG 7 (1) and VG 6 (8) - the latter two being village greens rather than CLs. 

Part of the common, the pond known as Brackenber Flodders, is a Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site" (i.e. 1.1 ha or 0.65 per cent of the CL area). 

Note dumping of silage on the common.


GEN:
A fairly large valley mire, lying within the flood plain of the River Eden.

OWNERS:
Part owned by one private owner as directed by the Commons Commissioner. Part subject to the protection of the local authority under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act, 1965.

ANOTES:
No public access. The common lies next to a railway line (the branch from Appleby to Warcop).  It is adjoined by one public footpath, but this does not pass onto the common and can also be reached by an unmetalled track. Appears to have no recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984, 1985). Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site": Sandford Mire, ref. E/NY71/11. Site viewed through binoculars.

GNOTES:
There are three rights of pasture. One entry is for sheep, cattle and ponies, while the other two are for sheep and cattle. There is one right of turbary. Part of site lies within a Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site". Note internal fencing on common and dumped silage.


GEN:
A long strip of wide roadside verges at the village of Brough Sowerby, supporting a mosaic of neutral grassland and scrub habitats.

OWNERS:
No known owner. Not subject to Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act, 1965.

ANOTES:
A minor, metalled road runs the entire length of the common. This is unfenced. Several small tracks form junctions with this, leading to farms etc. It is also crossed by three public footpaths and two bridleways. To the extreme west of the common, some new houses have been built at its edge, and some of the grassland on the common has been mown in front of these. This end of the common appears popular with local people for walking dogs etc. The eastern end of the common, however, appears to have little recreational use.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985). Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There are 15 rights of pasture. Fourteen are for sheep and/or cattle, with the remaining one being for cattle only. Note tipping of garden rubbish, and a bonfire site on the common.


GEN:
A small strip of broadleaved woodland following Brampton Beck plus a small hillside mainly dominated by bracken. Smaller areas of other habitats, including neutral grassland and scrub.

ANOTES:
The common adjoins a minor, metalled road at one point. An unmetalled track crosses the common, this also being a public footpath. A second public footpath also crosses the site. These paths are popular with local people. The track also appears to be used by horseriders. This has a ford, plus s set of stepping stones, where it crosses Brampton Beck. There is also a footbridge taking the second path across the beck. 

In the wooded section, there are many smaller paths meandering through the trees, and the field layer vegetation has been trampled in places as a result. A bonfire site was noted in a small woodland clearing, with a further on on Mill Hill. The site appears to have great local recreational value.

GNOTES:
Two rights of pasture, one entry specifying cattle only and the other specifying cattle and sheep. There is also one right of turbary and one of piscary. Note that two bonfire sites were seen on the common and also some dumped timber and garden rubbish.


GEN:
A large field of semi-improved acidic grassland at the village of Murton.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by two public footpaths. These appear little-used and the common is unlikely to have any recreational value.

GNOTES:
There are 18 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (13); cattle only (1 - limited to between 10th October and 31st December), horses only (1); sheep and horses (3). All are exercisable between 9th October and 26th April.  There are also two rights of turbary. 

A total of 17 of these rights entries have been cross-referenced to other CLs: CL 30W (17), CL 27W (1), CL 28W (1) and CL 26W (10). However, note that there are 11 cross-references made from CL 26W to this common. This is because one right has been amended and apportioned into two entries on CL 26W, BUT has not been altered on CL 29W. Presumably this is a clerical error. In addition, also note that the owner has a right to graze cattle registered in the rights section. 

When the common was visited, it was noted to have recently had an application of some substance, possibly lime. 

Contiguous with CL 30W.


GEN:
A small area mainly comprising improved grassland leading down to a stream. Small fenced area with neutral grassland which has been planted with trees. Also includes a small disused quarry face.

OWNERS:
Part owned jointly by three private owners as directed by the Commons Commissioner.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by two public footpaths. One of these is also used as a farm track. The other crosses the stream by a small footbridge. This path is way-marked across here, and appears to be popular with local residents. Children have hung a rope swing from a branch of one of the trees next to the stream

GNOTES:
The common has 18 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (16); sheep and horses (2). These are exercisable between 9th October and 26th April. There are two rights of turbary. 

The rights are cross-referenced to CLs 29W and 26W as follows: CL 29W (17). However, two are different rights and should not be cross-referenced - e.g. on CL 29W 1 horse, but on CL 30W, 4 sheep! There are also 11 cross-referenced entries to CL 26W. However, CL 26W has 12 reciprocal cross-references to this CL unit. This arises from an apportioned entry which has not been altered correctly. 

Contiguous with CL 29W. Small part of common is fenced from remainder.


GEN:
A large and important area of open moorland with a diverse variety of habitats. These include lowland heathland, acidic grassland, limestone pavement and calcicolous grassland.

OWNERS:
Part owned by one private owner. Remainder is subject to the protection of the local authority under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act, 1965.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a number of different roads. The main one of these is the M6 Motorway, which is of course, fenced from the common. Other roads are unfenced and include the B6260 Tebay to Appleby road and the B6261 Orton to Shap road, plus several other minor, metalled roads. In addition, several unmetalled roads, bridleways and public footpaths also cross the common. These may be used to some degree by walkers, but by no means as extensively as those of the popular parts of the Lake District. One path is particularly well-used as it lies along the route of the Coast to Coast walk. 

There is a car park in a small disused quarry at Orton Scar (GR NY 628 098). This appears well-used, with people stopping to admire the spectacular views to the south across the upper Lune Valley.

Cumbria Wildlife Trust County Wildlife Site: Asby Scar Pavements and Grassland, ref. E/NY60/23. Brief site visit.

GNOTES:
There are 34 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (15); sheep and ponies (4); sheep and cattle (8); sheep, cattle and horses (5 - some given in equivalents); sheep, cattle, horses, geese, hens and ducks (1); geese, hens and ducks (1). Two of the rights for cattle are limited to between 1st April and 30th September. 

Other rights are as follows: estovers (1); turbary (7); common in the soil (1 - for stone). The owner has two rights registered on behalf of tenants. 

A number of rights are cross-referenced: CL 9W (4); CL 11W (3); CL 7W (3). However, there are a number of errors in cross-referencing: One of the corresponding rights on CL 7W has been cancelled, so the register should read 2. The cross-references between this common and CL 9W are full of errors. Three of the four cross-referenced entries have been cancelled on CL 9W, while the remaining entry has also been modified. Three of the cross-references with CL 11W appear to be incorrect. 

There is one claim to a right of water supply and one claim to a right of access. The parish council claim the right for inhabitants to take stone from Slack Randy Quarry. The common has been registered on behalf of the Crosby Ravensworth Commoners Committee. 

A major portion lies within the Crosby Ravensworth Fell SSSI, itself forming a part of the Asby Complex pSAC. Sections of limestone pavement subject to Limestone Pavement Order (1990 - i.e. 34 per cent of the area of the common). Part Cumbria Wildlife Trust "County Wildlife Site".

There are a number of antiquities on the site. 

Contiguous with CLs 7W, 11W and 12W. Note the encroachment of the M6 Motorway onto the common. Internal fencing present across the common in places, including the M6, and also along the SSSI boundary to the east.

Measured area less than registered area.


GEN:
Two parcels of land to the west of Bootle. One lies along the coast and has maritime grassland and shingle, plus a brackish pond used by natterjack toads. The second lies next to the Cumbrian Coast Railway and is improved grassland.

ANOTES:
A public footpath runs along the coastal portion. This lies along the route of the Cumbria Coastal Way and is probably quite well-used. At the time of the site visit, two teenagers were fishing in the pond. 

The second, inland portion, has no public access and has the appearance of enclosed pasture, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1974, 1977, 1986). Karen Sampson (pers. comm.). Site visit.

GNOTES:
There are two rights, both for cattle. The entry does not indicate whether this applies to both parts of the common. There is also a non-registrable right to water stock in the river (2). 

Lies within the Lake District National Park.


GEN:
A section of fell in SW Cumbria. Mostly comprises acidic grassland and dense bracken. Several acidic flush/mire features present.

ANOTES:
Crossed by two unmetalled tracks and one public footpath. Probably only occasionally visited by walkers. The Phase 1 target notes record an area of flush, bracken and gorse, centered at GR SD 125 895, which has been cleared and is now used for motor bike 'scrambling' (1985). This practice is described as taking place in the surrounding 4 sq. km., which implies most of the common!

GNOTES:
There are 31 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep (16); sheep and cattle (13); sheep, cattle and horses (2). These are registered in stints, but specified for each rightholder e.g. some can only graze sheep, while others, sheep and cattle. One stint = 5 sheep, or 1 cow, or 1 horse. Other rights are: turbary (2); estovers (19 - with 18 specified as bracken). There is one claim to a right of access (for animals or vehicles). 

Contiguous with CLs 72C and 112C.

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
Lies on a hillside overlooking the western edge of the Duddon Estuary. Most of site dominated by dense bracken with scattered scrub and deciduous trees.

OWNERS:
Land subject to the protection of the local authority under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act, 1965. The registration also includes CL 61C.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed by a minor, metalled unfenced road. A public footpath is supposed to run from the road and down the hillside on the coastal plain. There is no evidence of this on the ground. The vegetation of the common is impenetrable and the slope quite steep, making public access very unlikely.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985). Site survey.

GNOTES:
The rights entry relating to this common appears to be a joint entry covering both this CL and also CL 61C. There are 10 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (2); sheep and geese (3); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (5). One right is held in "sheep grasses" - i.e. 1 grass = 1 sheep). Two rights are held in gross (i.e. by a specified individual rather than attached to land/property). Four further rights are described as "held in gross but traditionally attached to a holding". Registered by the Lady Hall Graziers Association.


GEN:
A prominent hill in SW Cumbria lying to the north of the Whicham Valley. Extensive areas of {\it Calluna} dry heath. Other habitats include acidic grassland and bracken.

ANOTES:
Adjoins the A595 coastal road in the south. Several public footpaths and bridleways cross the common, one of the latter providing a route to the summit of Black Combe. The area appears to be fairly popular with walkers and possibly some routes used by mountain bikers.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1985). Invertebrate Site Register: Black Combe - Ungraded site. Not visited.

GNOTES:
There are 38 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep (1); sheep, cattle and horses (1); sheep, cattle, horses and geese (36). Other rights are: estovers (37 - for bracken); turbary (36); common in the soil (37 - stone). A total of 35 entries are held in gross (i.e. by a specified party rather than attached to land/property). 

Contiguous with CL 8C.

Lies within the Lake District National Park and the Lake District ESA.


GEN:
Described as the only significant area of peatland remaining on the western side of the Duddon Estuary.

ANOTES:
A public footpath is shown to run past the SE corner of the common. An attempt was made to walk this route from the nearby hamlet of Strands. However, there are no right of way signs and the is path was impossible to follow on the ground, as it progresses through an arable field. Local residents said that they remembered a path, but no-one ever used it. The common is unlikely to be visited by the public.

GNOTES:
There is one right of turbary, held in gross (ie. by a specified individual or group rather than attached to land/property). 

Lies within the Duddon Mosses SSSI/pSAC. Cumbria Wildlife Trust site.


GEN:
A small remnant of a basin mire lying in the Whicham valley near to the village of Silecroft. A mosaic of marshy and neutral grassland with scrub and woodland.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1977, 1986). Brief site inspection.

GNOTES:
There is a single right entry, that of the parishoners "to collect bracken, rushes, willows, gravel and to shoot rabbit and duck and collect blackberries on Arrow Moss". As such it is held in gross, i/e. by specified individual(s) rather than attached to land/property. 

Lies within the Lake District National Park.


GEN:
A low hill of open moorland to the north of the Furness Peninsula. Most of common dominated by dense bracken. Two small tarns, now vegetated, plus several areas of interesting marshy grassland.

OWNERS:
Joint ownership held by two private owners.

ANOTES:
The common is crossed to the north by the main A5092 Greenodd to Grizebeck road and to the east by a minor, metalled road. Both are unfenced. 

In addition, the common is crossed by several public footpaths. Most appear to be quite well-used by local people (dog walking etc.). Old metal seats are situated just to the south of the road, opposite the school. Some paths, however, are overgrown by dense bracken. Elsewhere, there are other well-used paths which cut through the bracken. Two people were also seen horse riding. Much of the area to the south of the A5092, therefore, appears to have {\it de facto} access. 

On the NW portion of the common are situated a school and play area. To the NE there is an area cut as a football pitch, while part is fenced and used as an allotment. 

No access to the area known as Esps Wood.

SOURCE:
Cumbria Phase 1 survey (1984). Site visit.

GNOTES:
There are 17 rights of pasture registered as follows: sheep only (12); sheep and cattle (3); sheep, cattle, horses and goats (1); cattle and ponies (1). Other rights are: estovers (17 - bracken); turbary (2); common in the soil (1 - sand). The Hound Trailing Association claim the right to conduct hound trails across the common. 

Small portion (to N of A5092) lies within the Lake District National Park, whilst the whole site lies within the boundary of the Lake District ESA.
