More about this scene
Sykes Farm is typical of the isolated farms in this area. Another was Birkenhead Farm, where James Baines, woollen draper and benefactor to education in the Fylde, was born. The Quakers favoured this remote area, and founded a Meeting House at Newton-in-Bowland. In this century, walks around Stocks Reservoir ('the Jewel of the Forest of Bowland') are increasingly popular; the area has 70 per cent of the UK breeding population of hen harriers.
