Shap’s history and heritage highlighted in new leaflet

Shap’s history and heritage is being highlighted in a new leaflet.

Produced thanks to a partnership between Westmorland and Furness Council and the parish council, it will promote the area in and around the village to visitors and locals.

The leaflet, produced with input from members of the community and co-ordination and financial contributions from Westmorland and Furness Council and Shap Parish Council, features the history and heritage of the village, places of interest and the many walking and cycling opportunities.

Jessica Goodfellow, of the economic development and regeneration team at Westmorland and Furness Council, said: “This is a really positive local initiative and demonstrates the importance of working with our local communities.

“The leaflet will actively promote the Shap area and encourage new visitors to stay longer, take time to explore and enjoy the local cafes and pubs. It’s a positive step in attracting visitors to the more rural parts of our area so helping to reduce some of the pressures from the honey pot areas.

“We know the community is justly proud of the village and beauty of the surrounding area as well as the heritage and history which they are keen to share with visitors and hope to encourage them to stay longer and support and buy local,” she added.

The leaflet is the latest in a series of town leaflets which cover Appleby, Penrith, Kirkby Stephen, Alston and Orton and Tebay. Leaflets are available from local tourist information centres.
