Summary

Over many centuries poets have drawn inspiration and solace from the land that surrounds us.  From mountain high to valley floor from sea cliffs to sandy shore through wood and field, across rivers, brooks and streams through sunlight, raging storms and the cloak of night these shores have some of the most beautiful natural treasures to be found anywhere.
