Just a glance around you, even in the city, will show nature in some form. A daring dandelion, a mighty moss, a secret stone, an intrepid insect or a bashful blue tit. And where better to experience the environment than Cumbria? Home to an incredible range of habitats, from moors and mountains to coasts and caves, with temperate rainforests, muddy estuaries and much more, there is much to learn from the Tullie Designated Natural Science collection.  

Take a trip back through time with our exciting local geology, come face to face with the natural wonders of the county and experience nature from a different perspective. 

There’s plenty to inspire, we adore our natural history and we hope you will too.
