These woodlands have remained largely undisturbed for centuries, allowing a rich ecosystem to flourish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe trees are draped with mosses, ferns, and rare lichens that depend on the clean, humid air typical of Borrowdale, some of which can only be found in Borrowdale in England. Walking through Castle Crag’s woodland gives you a glimpse into a wilder, older landscape — a living snapshot of how the Lake District’s valleys might have appeared before widespread deforestation and farming changed the scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*****\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique print is available in 2 sizes:\u003cbr\u003eA4 (21cm x 29.7cm)\u003cbr\u003eA3 (29.7cm x 42cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll photos are printed on high-grade photo paper with a Satin finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*****\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote - only UK shipping available\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hiking Photographer","offers":[{"title":"A4 (29.7cm x 21cm)","offer_id":56804027924867,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (42cm x 29.7cm)","offer_id":56804027957635,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/5732\/0323\/files\/castle-crag-lake-district-borrowdale_35d360f8-b678-4795-85f6-e09d72f0992c.jpg?v=1773863347","url":"https:\/\/hikingphotographer.shop\/products\/castle-crag-lake-district","provider":"Hiking Photographer ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
