Limestone Landscapes

The Limestone Landscapes Partnership is committed to making a positive difference to the quality of life and unique natural environment of the East Durham Limestone Plateau.

The partnership offers an opportunity to coordinate activities and resources in a long-term and purposeful way to significantly enhance both the quality of the environment of the East Durham Limestone Plateau and the quality of life of its communities.

Limestone Landscapes is in the forth year of a project supported by a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop a wide range of projects. The project has been running since May 2011 to restore and enhance the Magnesian Limestone Plateau as a unique landscape with multiple benefits for the people who live, work and visit.
