This beautiful linocut print carries a poem about the rugged sprawl of Haystacks, perfectly capturing its windswept crests, heavy peat, and the dark waters of Blackbeck Tarn. It would look brilliant on the wall of any keen fell walker who treasures the steep, wild crags rising high above Buttermere.

Haystacks

Above the head of Buttermere,
Where Warnscale beck runs clear and cold,
The hummocks of the fell appear,
Above the bracken and the fold.

It raises up no pointed pike,
But sprawls across a rugged crest,
Where heather clings beside the syke,
And fell-top winds blow from the west.

Here Blackbeck Tarn lies flat and dark,
Contained within a rocky grip,
And peat-dubs hold the boot's deep mark,
Before the sudden western dip.

Innominate, the shallow tarn,
Lies open to the weather's beat,
Without a wall or winter barn,
Just cotton-grass and heavy peat.

The western crags fall hard and steep,
Down to the hause and crossing track,
Where Herdwick flocks are left to keep
Along the fell's uneven back.

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.
