National Trust Information Shelters

National Trust Information Shelters

The two Information Shelters are located at Stickle Ghyll in the Langdale Valley and at Aira Force on Ullswater. They display information about each location and the Trust’s activities there.

The two shelters have similar layouts but the designs vary in their materials and details to reflect the character of each site. The shelter at Stickle Ghyll has rugged stone walling, roughly riven oak timbers and particularly thick green slates. The shelter at Aira Force has slate walling, a planed Douglas Fir structure finished with beaded boarding and thinner green slates.

The Shelters won a design award from the Lake District National Park Planning Authority.
