Devoke Water and Stanley Ghyll.
Jackie’s career is in hospitality and catering – from a Saturday job at Wimpy to running restaurants and gastropubs across the UK. She spent over 20 years at the Langdale Estate and Brimstone as Sales and Revenue Manager (Langdale Estate supports the Fix the Fells programme).
Now semi-retired, she runs Lancaster & Lancaster with her husband, Nick, helping Cumbrian hospitality businesses.
She fell in love with the Lakes on her first visit and moved here in 2001.
She is passionate about protecting nature and the landscape. As a member of Sustainable Duddon, Jackie supports litter picks, invasive-species control, bat walks, orchards and habitat management and is pleased to report that red squirrels have returned in the Duddon after a ten-year absence!
Jackie serves on Duddon Parish Council, Duddon Support Group and Broughton Community Services (who helped save Broughton-in-Furness’s Post Office).
As a Member, Jackie sits on Strategy and Development Control Committees.
