The Poet's Corner

An unbeaten path, a stone and a shade tree

Situated along one of the unbeaten paths of the Hope estate, the Poet's Corner is a small clearing built for reading, writing and sitting still.

The Poet's Corner sits away from the main avenues, reached by a footpath under mature canopy.

A carved stone and mosaic benches mark the space, which the Gardens use for readings, school poetry sessions and quiet visits.
