best place to see red squirrels in cumbria


Smardale Nature Reserve, near Kirkby Stephen
Stunning scenery surrounds the steep wooded slopes of Smardale Gill. Red squirrels can be seen racing between the trees. Only 10 years ago, reds were almost extinct here following an influx of greys. Thankfully reds are now once again thriving.

Maybe give this a try Chalky. 👌
