Set within a lovely linocut illustration, this poem captures the breathless climb from Ambleside to Kirkstone Pass, the glowing twilight inn, and the quiet descent to Brothers Water. Anyone who has braved the Struggle and loved that wide, still dale will absolutely adore having this beautiful print on their wall.

Kirkstone Pass

From Ambleside, the Struggle climbs
Past drystone walls and bracken brown,
And makes you stop a dozen times
To look back at the shrinking town.

A stone beside the road, they say,
Looks like a kirk, and names the height;
And at the top, at end of day,
The old inn's windows fill with light.

Then over, down the other side,
Where Brothers Water, small and still,
Lies waiting, and the dale lies wide
Below the last long drop of hill.

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.
