to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War silent walks will be held through twenty-four landscapes in the care of the National Trust across England & Wales, in remembrance of those affected by conflict.
guided by Hamish Henderson’s poem ‘End of a Campaign’, which bears witness to ‘our own’ and ‘the others’, a pair of representative poems will be read, and some poppy seeds scattered, at each walk.
