Words from a bench

We are delighted to celebrate here poems and prose written by local writers who have been inspired by nature and parks, and particularly the beauty of Rowntree Park.

These pieces invite reflection and offer alternative ways to see the abundance of this lovely place. We collated seven issues of the ‘Words from a Bench’ project, as well as a children’s competition:
