As the sun beats down on Brimham Rocks, Natalie Anastasia Davies is surveying the landscape; the ancient stones scattered across the 50-acre site look as if they would be more at home in a fantasy epic than in North Yorkshire.
The 33-year-old poet is the National Trust site’s first writer in residence and over the next few months will immerse herself here, observing the dramatic landscape change as the months pass. She will watch the plants transform, the leaves on the trees turn from verdant greens to crisp browns, and hear the sounds of the animals change with the seasons.
