Archaeology
The
Cumbria Historic Environment Service (external link) provide
advice about the conservation and management of the county's
archaeological sites and monuments and its historic buildings and
landscapes, except within the Lake District
(www.lake-district.gov.uk) and Yorkshire Dales
(www.yorkshiredales.org.uk) national parks which have their own
historic environment advisory services.
Based at Kendal, they maintain the Cumbria Historic Environment
Record (formerly the Sites and Monuments Record) and they operate a
development control advice service for the County and Cumbria's six
local planning authorities.
