Slide 29
Aims of the lesson To learn about the location and background
of the Yorkshire Dales To learn the definition of social, economic
and environmental factors.
Slide 30
Location of the Yorkshire Dales Using the Modern School Atlas
you are going to writer a brief description of the location of the
Yorkshire Dales. It should include: When it opened: 1954 The name
of a settlement within it: M______. The names of three cities
nearby. The names of the main roads connecting those cities to the
Dales.
Slide 31
Location of the Yorkshire Dales The Yorkshire Dales National
park was founded in 1954. It is located in the north east of
England. One of the main settlements in the Dales is Malham. Three
major cities nearby to the park are Birmingham, Newcastle (both
connected by the A1) and Manchester (connected by the M65).
Slide 32
Social, Economic & Environmental Factors A social factor is
one which will affects the people in the area. An economic factor
is one which affects industry in the area. An environmental factor
is one which affects the natural landscape.
Slide 33
Factors Affecting the Yorkshire Dales Each pair has been given
a set of cards containing information on factors affecting the
Yorkshire Dales. You must divide these factors into 3 groups:
1.Social Factors 2.Economic Factors 3.Environmental Factors There
may be some cross over. Once complete, take a copy of these into
your notes.
Slide 34
In 2004 it was estimated that tourism brought 350 million to
the Yorkshire Dales. The industry supports approx 1250 jobs within
the park and the surrounding area. Tourism has led to an increase
in services in towns like Malham e.g. cafes, restaurants, shops,
hotels. Heavy use of footpaths causes erosion and widens the path
as people avoid muddy areas. This leads to some paths being 4 times
their normal width. Tourists trespass on farmland causing damage to
crops and to dry stone walls. Litter, dog waste and intentional
vandalism are a constant problem in the National Park. It increases
the risk to livestock and wildlife. As a result of footpath
erosion, grazing land is also lost in the Yorkshire Dales.
Limestone pavements like Malham Cove have been damaged by feet and
stone removal. The lifestyle of the locals is encroached through
increased noise, disturbance and loss of privacy. Housing prices
have increased in towns like Malham. Locals can no longer afford to
purchase homes here.
Slide 35

Aims of the lesson To understand how farming is a suitable land
use for the Yorkshire Dales. To learn the challenges and changes to
farming in the Yorkshire Dales with reference to named examples. To
identify conflicts and solutions between farming and other land
uses in the YD with reference to named examples.
Slide 49
Farming in the Yorkshire Dales The Yorkshire Dales landscape is
one of small fields enclosed with limestone dry stone walls. This
traditional way of life is now increasingly under threat due to
pressure on farming practices.

Be completed on graph paper. Be neatly annotated. Contain a wide
variety of different examples of diversification. Use the
photographs on your tables and p34 of the Higher Environmental
Interactions textbook to help you.
Slide 59
Conflict Spider Diagram Using the information on p32 and 33 of
the Higher Environmental Interactions textbook. Look carefully at
figure 1.47a & 1.47b.
Slide 60
Pressures & Solutions Conflicts Increased production costs
mean small farms struggle to compete with agribusiness. Increased
pressure from tourists. Despite EU grants, subsidies and price
guarantees, farmers still struggle to maintain income levels.
Maintenance of traditional farm lifestyle is uneconomical. Sale
prices for stock have fallen. Increases in cheaper imports, BSE and
reduced demand for meat products. Solutions UK Government payments
for farmers in less favoured areas. EU Common Agricultural Policy
supports cattle and sheep farmers. Farm diversification increases
income. Barn and walls conservation scheme payments. Countryside
Stewardship Scheme (CSS) pays grants to farmers who manage their
land in a traditional way. Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs).
Farmers who own ESAs receive payments for reducing the intensity of
production.

Slide 74
Past Paper Question (2012) Social tourism, recreation, nature
conservation. Economic farming, forestry, water supply, energy
generation, quarrying.
Slide 75
Sample Answer The YDs can be found in the north west of
England. It is nearby to major cities such as Newcastle, Leeds and
Manchester (1) which makes it an ideal area for day trippers and
weekend visitors (1). They can access the area easily on roads such
as the A1 (1). This means that the YDs has access to a large number
of tourists. The outstanding natural beauty of the area (1),
including limestone pavements at Malham (1), all act as a hook for
people. This has provided economic opportunities for people to set
up tourist led industries such as B&Bs and cafes (1). In turn
this has led to a thriving business and around 1250 jobs for the
locals of the area (1). The number of tourists and natural scenery
allowed the creation of a National park in 1954 (1). This increased
the price of housing in the area. It also allowed for restrictions
being placed on buildings helping small villages and towns to
retain their charm (1). The presence of limestone (1) has allowed
for quarrying to take place e.g. Swindon Quarry (1). These 8
quarries employ roughly 7% of the YD population (1).
