We also wrote a collaborative poem about Stonehenge, where we each wrote two lines and then Bridget assembled the piece into its final form. You can read it below, or find it (alongside lots of other poetry/stories written about places all over the UK) on Pin the Tale here: pinthetale.co.uk

It would be lovely to see a healthy bunch of geographers being part of this community 🌍
