Skiddaw

The Skiddaw, a stunning mountain that dominates Keswick in the Lake District is a must-see. This isn't just a mountain - it has an interesting backstory. One of the founders of the first rock group in history lived alone on the summit, in a remote home. The author of Wainwright’s Pictorial Guide to the Northern Fells also came across an unusual geological feature in this area and climbed up to the summit of the mountain on the exact day his father-in-law died.

The mountain of Skiddaw is composed of different layers of shales and mudstones, compressed and heated by the heat of volcanic lava over millions of years to produce the distinctive grey slate that is used in the buildings of the town. The formation of slate produced a curious byproduct called the "musical stone" of Skiddaw. These stones are known as lithophones because of their resonance when struck. It is believed that the rocks were part of a quarry, and Joseph Richardson, a local stonemason, brought them together to create the large octave the xylophone that is located in the Victoria Hall in Keswick.

The stoves that are Defra-approved allow you to make use of Defra approved fuels, such as manufactured smokeless coal, anthracite, or home fire. These stoves come with an air supply system that prevents the fuel from burning and ensures a constant supply of combustion air. They do not have the same burning time of a non-Defra stove.

Another benefit of a Defra-approved stove is that it can be installed with a 5" flue liner instead the standard 6". This makes it easier to install in older chimneys or where the flue liner is curved with awkward bends. This reduces the price of the stove, and is especially useful for those who have an older house or flat with a chimney stack that has serious issues.
