Environment

The plateau is used by over 30 bird species including Red Kite, Hen Harrier, Buzzard, Red Grouse, Curlew and Golden Plover. There are archaeological features on the plateau including Bronze Age cairns, standing stones and a possible Roman road crossing from east to west. Care was taken in planning the wind farm to avoid areas of ecological and archaeological interest and the construction routes have been reinstated as part of a detailed restoration programme.
