the River Lyvennet (Eden catchment) on its new course.
RESTORATION work to three Cumbrian rivers has been recognised with a top award.
The rivers Eden, Derwent and Kent were awarded the UK River Prize 2016 in celebration of work to restore 14km of river to a "winding wildlife habitat" across three catchments.
The project is a partnership between Natural England, the Environment Agency and three Rivers Trusts. Judges said they were impressed by the scale of the work and its achievements.
