Lyth Valley

United Kingdom / England / Milnthorpe / A5074
The flat bottom of the valley was originally bog, but it has been drained for the benefit of farmers. In recent years there has been controversy about the cost of the pumps which keep the valley drained. For some years the pumping has been funded by the Environment Agency, but after reviewing its priorities in the region the Agency decided it did not wish to continue. The creation of an Internal drainage board has been discussed. As at 2017, the pumps are still working pending a decision on how water level management is to be organised. -Wikipedia.
