England's largest temperate rainforest has been announced as a new National Nature Reserve (NNR) by Natural England and the National Trust.

Borrowdale Valley in Cumbria represents a habitat that previously covered large parts of England but now only covers 1% of land in the country.

Jane Saxon, general manager at the National Trust, said: "By creating this nature reserve, we are actively managing the woodlands for nature conservation and access through compatible practices."
