As you enter Borrowdale's National Nature Reserve, you are immediately surrounded by a breathtaking landscape that seems to have been untouched by time. The towering ancient oaks, birches, and ferns that climb the steep slopes have been thriving for thousands of years, creating a truly unique biodiverse habitat.

As you explore the reserve, you'll come across a variety of upland woodlands that are rich carbon stores. The reserve's dense forests are home to rare lichens, mosses, and liverworts, making it a haven for botanists and nature enthusiasts. These plants are not only visually stunning, but also play a vital role in the reserve's biodiversity. The National Trust, which manages the reserve, is dedicated to conserving and restoring these ancient woodlands, ensuring that they continue to thrive for generations to come.
