National Park Rangers and Specialist Arboriculturists will be working at Hareshaw Linn from w/c 27th December 2021 to remove damaged and fallen trees from the area. At these times there may be restricted access to some parts of the Linn for the public’s safety. If visitors or the local community would like to report an issue on a right of way within the National Park, please contact stormarwen@nnpa.org.uk.
