SWINDALE 09A - Crump weir, Swindale Beck Intake

The crump weir, Swindale intake and fish pass on Swindale Beck in the Eden District of Cumbria.
Natural England, the RSPB, the Environment Agency and United Utilities have recently been working together to put the bends back into Swindale Beck that runs through the valley. This should prevent flooding and help the wildlife. The beck had been straightened in the 1800s to provide more land for grazing and hay making.
