Shap Fells
UK protected area
Shap Fells is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It is located near the eastern boundary of the park, with one section (formerly named "Shap Pink Quarry") to the west of the A6 road and another section (formerly named "Wasdale Beck Section") to the east of this road.
Shap Fells was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the range of acid grassland types, the diversity of upland birds and also because of geological features. Throughout the protected area there are areas of blanket bog.
