Poetry Corner

Welcome to Poetry Corner. We received some wonderful poetry from participants at our photography and poetry masterclass with Rob and Harriet Fraser back in September and thought that some examples would be the perfect way to kick off this new section of our website. We'd like to invite you to submit your own words or images inspired by the landscapes of the Lake District and Cumbria.

To submit words to our 'Poetry Corner', email [email protected] or post to us here at Friends of the Lake District addressed to ‘Poetry Corner’. We'll also select our favourites for publication in future editions of our 'Conserving Lakeland' members' magazine.
