Poetry Path - a year in the life of a hill farmer.
Twelve poems by Meg Peacocke, lettered on stone by Pip Hall, arranged on a path in Stenkrith Park. The poems describe the year of a hill farmer month by month, verse and a vignette scene.

: 2004 (?): Poetry Path: East Cumbria Countryside Project (Warwick Bridge, Cumbria)
The photographs here show the poetry after some time in the weather. Everything is still readable and enjoyable; snapshots do not do justice to the beautiful lettering.
