With Spring around the corner, now’s the perfect time to get out of our towns and cities and take in the breathtaking landscapes of Yorkshire .
Follow one of our Stanza Stones Trails to seek out Simon Armitage’s specially written poems, inspired by the landscape and carved into rocks along The Pennine Way between Marsden and Ilkley.
The Stanza Stones trail guides are free to download and organised into short and long walks to suit your energy levels.
Follow these links and then follow the maps to discover each stone. And let us know if you’ve found the mystery stone that’s hidden somewhere along the way (no, we haven’t managed to find it yet…).
