Work to reconnect a river with its flood-plain, in order to improve wildlife habitats, has been completed.

The improvements, which took place on a 1km (0.6 mile) stretch of Goldrill Beck, in Ullswater, will create 11 hectares (27.2 acres) of wetland in the area.

The changes were made by incorporating natural features within the river and flood-plain, including lowering artificial embankments, blocking ditches and creating ponds.
