'In the Footsteps of the Romantic Poets’ aims to help pupils of all ages understand and connect with their local landscape and heritage through making, playing and exploring outside. The project takes inspiration from the Romantic Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William and Dorothy Wordsworth, who lived and wrote in Somerset’s Quantock Hills. Artists and cultural partners collaborated with schools, over a period of 4 years, to build skills and understanding across subjects through an immersive learning experience.
In the Footsteps of the Romantic Poets was produced by SPAEDA, on behalf of the Quantock Hills National Landscape as part of the Quantock Landscape Partnership Scheme with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
