This question will represent 50% of the marks on Paper 2. You need to..
· Know the economic and social opportunities offered by the landscape
· Know the conflicts that arise as a result of these activities (you must quote named examples)
· Know the solutions to these conflicts and be able to discuss their effectiveness
· The major landforms associated with the landscape and explain in detail how they are formed (you must quote examples from your case study area)
This is a map of the national parks, you must be aware of how the national parks relate to major settlement centres and road networks.
There are a number of land uses for National Parks in Glaciated areas
You should have a handout that details all the conflicts, use the table below to summarise them for revision.

Footpath Erosion
"By 1999, the whole of the National Park had been surveyed and 180 paths had been identifed as being in
need of repair. The huge scale of the problem highlighted the need for a long term management solution.
This led to the formation of the Upland Path Landscape Restoration Project (UPLRP) a 10 year project
(2002 to 2011) which sets out to repair the majority of landscape scars caused by the erosion of fells paths in
the Lake District." http://www.fixthefells.co.uk/path_erosion_factsheet.pdf
It would be a good idea to read and summarise (tables/cards/annotated diagrams) this Pdf from fix the fells, page 3 is great for named examples and also the benefits and problems of each solution.
