Baggeridge Poetry

National Poetry Day at Baggeridge Country Park

Inspired by national poetry day which took place in September rangers at the park asked many of their regular visitors to do some homework and come up with a poem about Baggeridge. The resulting poems were displayed at strategic points around the park.

Many people came across the poems and enjoyed their discovery and some were inspired to put pen to paper themselves.

Following the excellent response from visitors it will become a regular project to place poems written by visitors around the park for people to discover. A little personal touch that may brighten someone’s day or inspire them to try out some poetry for themselves.

If you feel inspired to have a go, then please send them to us, by either emailing them to baggeridge.sstaffs@virgin.net or just drop them into the rangers office on the park. Don’t worry about whether you think they will be good enough just have a go, it’s the personal touch that makes them special.
