The Susanna Blamire Pond

The Susanna Blamire Pond is named after the ‘Muse of Cumberland’. Susanna was a poet whose work gained recognition posthumously. She is now considered one of the most notable poets writing in a Cumberland dialect.

Susanna Blamire Pond is located near the proposed housing north of Peter Lane. Therefore, it has been designed with an informal, publicly accessible hoggin path to enable the local residents and visitors to this area of green space.

The proposed woodland planting contains native coniferous species, native broadleaf trees, and shrub species. Most of this space will also be sown with a species-rich native grass and wildflower mix, along with native marginal and aquatic planting around the pond.
