Dalton Crags is a large limestone woodland occupying a south-west facing slope on the edge of the Hutton Roof massif. The VC60 parts of the complex are mainly owned and manged by Forestry England, with a slither of VC60 to the North managed by Cumbria Wildlife Trust.

The woodland is a mixture of limestone pavement, ancient woodland and newly planted beech & larch. Open grassland areas are dominated by Blue-moor Grass, the likely main foodplant of the Nationally Rare and Endangered macro-moth Least Minor Photedes captiuncula, which has a colony on the site.

There are no facilities at this site and the terrain is mostly uneven and sloped.

Please be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here).

Events will be subject to cancellation if there is severe weather forecast.

Booking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.
