An
exciting new project investigating what it means to be Cumbrian.
Cumbria.
92 miles long, 60 odd miles wide. The most sparsely populated county
in the whole of England.
We’ve
got the country’s highest mountain, deepest lake and most controversial
power station. But what makes Cumbria uniquely Cumbrian? You know,
different from say Yorkshire…. or Northumberland……or
Lancashire? And what makes us feel Cumbrian and feel at home here?
Well
that’s what we’re about to investigate in an exciting
new BBC project called A Sense of Place.
In
spring 2002 we’ll be broadcasting a series of six half hour
programmes, on BBC Radio Cumbria, about what it means to be Cumbrian.
We’ll travel the length and breadth of the county to find out
if there’s really such a thing as a Cumbrian personality; if
the picture painted by the press is an accurate portrayal of the
county; and to find Cumbria’s favourite place.
And
of course we need your help. What do you think it means to be Cumbrian?
And which place in the county most sums up the spirit of Cumbria?
