Walking for Wellbeing: Around Morecambe Bay with William Wordsworth

“How bountiful is Nature! … Quit your couch,” urged William Wordsworth in The Excursion—and this summer, over 200 walkers took him at his word. Guided by an actor voicing Wordsworth’s verse, they explored the dramatic landscapes of Morecambe Bay, from Black Combe and Piel Island to Fleetwood and even a crossing of the Bay itself.

Join us for the premiere screening of a stunning new film that captures these poetic journeys, followed by a lively discussion with some of the participants. Discover the physical and emotional benefits of walking in nature, and uncover Morecambe Bay’s surprising role in the early days of Lake District tourism—when Wordsworth himself was very much part of the story.

The panel will include representatives of Lancaster University, Wordsworth Grasmere, Trek Therapy, Mosaic Outdoor and special guest William Wordsworth.
