Fieldwork Trip to Caldbeck

Our Geography Fieldwork trip to Caldbeck was superb.

We did pedestrian footfall and traffic surveys, placed map symbols onto a map of Caldbeck that we followed, used a map to find the Muddy Duck Café, school and pond, completed a map of the pond with human and physical features, had lunch at Fell View Primary school and interviewed pupils about living in Caldbeck, walked along the river side to look at the waterfall and find St. Kentigen’s church and not a drop of rain in sight! We were very tired from lots of walking but we had a superb day full of learning all about Caldbeck and developing our fieldwork skills.
