Question 1

What are the conflicts between Farmers and Tourists? (4)

Answer 1

• Tourists let dogs loose in fields often scaring sheep (and other animals), causing them to give birth prematurely.
• Tourists leave gates open allowing the farm animals to escape onto roads and often get injured.
• Tourists park cars on narrow farm roads stopping the farmers machinery getting through.
• Tourists climb over walls, often damaging them, and giving the farmer extra repair costs.

Question 2

What are the solutions to the conflicts between Tourists and Farmers? (4)

Answer 2

• Clear ‘no dogs’ or ‘dogs on leads’ signage
• Kissing gates so that the tourists can still access paths without animals escaping.
• Off road car parks
• Wooden ladder stiles, allowing tourists to go over walls without touching them.

Question 3

Limestone Pavement formation. (4)

Answer 3

• Glaciers scrape the limestone rock bare exposing it to weathering.
• Rainwater containing carbonic acid dissolves the rock by seeping through the permeable limestone at verticals joints.
• The rock is chemically weathered and removed in a solution.
• This leaves a widened joint at the surface called a grike.
