Kirkby Moor, Protected mountain and scientific site in Cumbria, England.
Kirkby Moor extends across both sides of the A5092 road, reaching an elevation of 333 meters above sea level in southern Cumbria.
The area has maintained its natural characteristics while incorporating modern developments, including the installation of twelve 400-kilowatt wind turbines by RWE Innogy.
The designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest reflects the commitment to preserve the ecological features and natural habitats of this region.
Multiple public footpaths traverse the moor, with the Kirkby Slate Road providing access and additional tracks created for wind turbine maintenance.
Lowick High Common, located in the southern section of Kirkby Moor, holds the record as the first summit in the UK activated 100 times for SOTA activities.
