A relic of the Victorian age, which has lain hidden for decades, has been restored to its former glory thanks to the hard work of a group of Kendal residents, reports Ruth Lythe.

For almost a year, members of Fellside Residents' Forum have been carrying out conservation work in Serpentine Woods a well known Kendal beauty spot.

The programme of work was part of a management plan agreed between the Forum and South Lakeland District Council.

Brambles and weeds have been cut back to keep the area safe and attractive for walkers and wildlife paths have been renewed and paths cleared.

But the group has also set to work clearing leaves from a mysterious limestone platform, measuring 30 metres by 30 metres, which is believed to have been used in the past as a "dancing green."
