Set into a gorgeous linocut illustration, this original poem is about Ashness Bridge and catches everything a photograph misses: the sound of Barrow Beck, the smell of bracken, and the peaceful feeling of a day entirely to yourself. Anyone longing to remember those quiet moments beneath Skiddaw will adore this print on their wall.

Ashness Bridge

One arch of old grey stone, no more,
Laid over Barrow Beck, just so,
Where packhorse trains once crossed before
The road was made, so long ago.

Stand by the beck and look downhill:
The bridge, the lake in shades of grey,
Old Skiddaw, blue and broad and still,
The picture people take away.

But photographs forget the sound,
The water talking under stone,
The smell of bracken on the ground,
The way the day feels like your own.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
