COVID 19 Update

Hello from all of us here at Greens, we hope you are all safe and well. The government has lifted some of the lockdown restrictions, however, concerns remain locally about the relatively high rate of COVID 19 infections here in Cumbria. The message from The National Park , Cumbria Tourism and our wonderful Mountain Rescue Teams remains “Please do not travel here just yet.”
We are left with a decision about whether to open now in some capacity or not. To weigh up the pressures we feel on us now to get back to work and our responsibilities to our staff, the local community and you our customers. Our priority throughout this pandemic has been to trust our instincts and do what we think is right. That’s why we decided to close the restaurant as soon as the general public were advised to avoid them and not wait until the government decided to order all restaurants to close. It’s also why we have been topping up the wages of all our staff on furlough so they and their families have not suffered financially from the closure.
We do not feel that it sits right for us to envisage opening in any capacity for the moment. We need to put the safety of everyone first.
We are busy making plans for what we can do when everyone here feels it is right to reopen and safe for everyone. It’s been a long eight weeks. We have missed seeing you all and you are often in our thoughts. Thanks for all your kind messages and we look forward to welcoming you back when the time is right; sadly it’s not just yet.
Stay safe and best wishes
Rob & Karen

CastleRigg Stone Circle

Castlerigg
Location: Keswick
Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in England and is one of our oldest stone circles. Every year thousands of visitors come to see the stone circle asking why and when it was built.
The circle comprises 38 free standing stones some of which are up to 3 metres high dating back to the Neolithic period around 4000 to 5000 years ago. Inside the circle are three stone axes which are made from volcanic stone quarried in the fells during the same period. The main purpose of the site is unknown but there are a couple of suggestions. It could have been used as a trading post, a meeting place for social gatherings, a site for religious ceremonies and rituals or an astronomical observatory with the stones being aligned to the sun, moon and stars.
In 1913 the site was acquired by the National Trust through efforts by Canon Rawnsley and is maintained by English Heritage.
Standing on the top of a low hill above Keswick it is well worth a visit with beautiful views across to Skiddaw, Blencathra and Lonscale Fell.

Saving the red squirrels of the Lake District

While visiting Grasmere you may have spotted a number of red squirrels running in and around the village.
Once a popular sight and the only native species in England, red squirrels have suffered a major decline. Since the introduction of the grey squirrel, red squirrels have dropped from around three and half million to an estimated one hundred and twenty thousand.
Helping to protect the red squirrels are the Grasmere Red Squirrel Group, who work with Allan Bank to make Allan Bank their ideal home. Supplementing the red squirrel’s diet, Allan Bank puts out monkey nuts and sunflower seeds every morning into their special feeders. They help to monitor the population and keep an eye out for any sick or injured squirrels.
As well as the Grasmere Red Squirrel Group, there are a number of groups in and surrounding Cumbria all with the same purpose to ‘protect the red squirrel’.
