The Mountain Environment
Key Stage: 2
Location: Hathersage and North Lees (Stanage) or Castleton with Mam Tor. For more details on locations, please contact us for further information
Duration: Available as a half or full day
The Mountain Environment investigates and experiences the weather and landscapes of the Uplands of the Peak District. Ideal for Comparing and Contrasting landscapes, it also investigates Hathersage; a village that has developed, in part, as a result of its proximity to North Lees and Stanage Edge, one of Britain's most popular rock climbing venues
The children will record the characteristics of the Uplands, including its weather and recreational and tourism activity. They will gain an understanding of the relationship between the bedrock, landforms, weather, ecology and land use. They will also gain an understanding of the geological formation and weathering of millstone grit
