Who is the Borrowdale Banksy?
Speculation is afoot as residents and visitors wonder who is the ‘Borrowdale Banksy’?
Climber and photographer Carl Halliday stumbled upon a stone sculpture during a rock climb in Borrowdale a couple of weeks ago. He posted the picture online which led to some attributing the work to the ‘Borrowdale Banksy’.
Situated overlooking the Borrowdale Valley, Carl is keen to keep the exact location under wraps as the site is only accessible for experienced climbers.
“It felt a privilege to see it and photo it,” he said.
“I don’t know who the talented artist is. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this on the fells,” he added.

Top shepherd: Matthew Fearon A CUMBRIAN hill farmer is among 12 young shepherds preparing to take part in the finals of a competition that should have taken place last year. The National Sheep Association (NSA), organisers of the Next Generation Shepherd of the Year, had to cancel last year’s competition, which was scheduled to have taken place at NSA Sheep Event 2020, because of the pandemic. The long-awaited finals will see competitors take part in a demonstration of skills including ATV handling, health care administration, carcase judging, and shearing via virtual tasks. Representing NSA Northern Region is Matthew Fearon, 21, who is working as a contract shepherd.
