THE LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY PUBLIC PATH NOTICE VARIOUS RIGHTS OF WAY IN ENNERDALE FOREST TEMPORARY PROHIBITION OF TRAFFIC ORDER 2020 SECTION 14(1) OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 NOTICE IS GIVEN that the Secretary of State has granted an extension to the Order made by the LDNPA dated 20 July 2020, which came into force on 3 August 2020. The effect is to prohibit public traffic for all purposes from proceeding over parts of a number of footpaths and bridleways in Ennerdale Forest to enable felling and extraction of timber. Work has been completed on some paths within the Order, and therefore the extension no longer applies to these. Currently dosed paths are listed below.
* BW 407028 (Ling Mell) - 950 metres from point Z (NY 1312 1382) eastwards to D and southwards to point C (NY 13601322)

* FP 407042 (Ling Mell) - 1.1km from BW 407028 (point D1: NY 1332 1376) southwards to edge of forest (point B1: NY 13611273]

* FP 407029 (River Liza) - 3.4km from BW 407028 (point D: NY 1339 1379) eastwards to FP 407032 south of middle road bridge (point K: NY 16501349)

* FP 407032 (Middle road bridge) -115 metres between FP 407029 (point K: NY 16501349) northward over bridge to BW 407021 (point UNY16481359)

Not all the paths will be closed at the same time, and together with alternative routes there will always be one east-west route open through the valley, and at least two routes onto the fells to the south. Signage on site will indicate the situation at any one time. The notice and plan showing the route concerned may be inspected during normal office or opening hours at the National Park Authority Offices, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal, LA9 7RL; at Copeland Borough Council, The Market Hall, Whitehaven, CA28 7JG; and at Cleator Moor Post Office, Cumbrian Co-Op Store, 76 Leconfield Street, Cleator Moor, Cumbria, CA25 5PX; and is also available online at

The extension to closure will continue in force until 2 August 2021 or until the completion of works, whichever is the earlier. If the works have not been completed it may be extended for a further period with the approval of the Secretary of State. Authority Solicitor, 18 January 2021
