The Quantock Poetry Trail group is a group of 12 poets and writers, all of whom either live in or around the Quantocks, or who have an intimate connection to the Quantocks and surrounding areas. We have, since July 2022, been wandering as lonely as a cloud, um, actually as together as a group of humans, o’er hill and dale, composing poetry to place, to the specific locations in and around the Quantocks which call to us as poets and writers.  The resulting works have been digitally embedded into the landscape, discoverable through your smartphone as audio.

To download the poetry experience onto your phone please visit the website (link below) and follow the instructions. You can then take to the hills in the locations indicated to find and listen to the poems!
