Although the tracks of the old railway line have long since gone, this path is a well-trodden two-miles of beautiful and changing scenery. Its history and heritage are multi-layered and full of stories to inspire the poet in us all. We're teaming up with the West Somerset Mineral Line Association who care for and promote walks along the whole of the route. And we're working with the four local schools and Pebbles Poetry Group to begin a new trail of geo-located poems that everyone is invited to add to this summer.

For the person who has everything.... I bet they don't have a book of toxic poetry! Thoughtful Christmas presents come book-shaped this year. A Walk Down the Rift (£10) is available from Amazon and local Exmoor bookseller Number Seven in Dulverton.
And if the classics are more your thing, how about The Rime of The Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - the original version inspired by Watchet and the hills of West Somerset - beautifully reproduced with images by Somerset artists. £12 from Amazon or direct from containsarts.co.uk

Here are a few snippets from the Poetry Pin exhibition visitor book, and if the handwriting looks a bit chaotic in places, it's because everyone was wearing industrial rubber gloves! ... you'll just have to come and see for yourself...
A Walk Down the Rift is at Contains Art in Watchet, Wednesdays to Sundays until the 1st November.
