A POEM A DAY - NEOLITHIC ECHOES

Image
The Whispering Knights project is in the wood next to the Whispering Knights Dolman at the Rollright stones in Oxfordshire. The labyrinth at the heart of the project is called 'Neolithic Echoes' and is part of a project filling the word with artworks made from the brush and wood from the management of the area. I walked the labyrinth on a damp September morning with sun filtering through the trees. After visiting the stones, coming across the woodland art was a beautiful and moving experience. There is more information about the project on the website below, I would recommend a visit.  https://www.whisperingknights.org/ © 2019 Jacqueline Knight Cotterill.  All rights reserved.  

A POEM A DAY - WHISPERING KNIGHTS

Image
This beautiful woodland arch is in the woods adjoining the Whispering Knights Dolmen and Rollright stone circle in Oxfordshire which date back 6000 years. The arch is made out of brash, the remains of tree thinning and is one of a number of sculptural works dotted through the wood, along with a large labyrinth called Neolithic echoes. On a rainy morning the whole area had a mystical and inspiring feel and the management of the trees was enhanced by the beauty of the brash works.  The woods and art are part of a project called 'The Whispering Knights Project' and their website below gives more information on the project and the history of the portal dolmen tomb and the stone circle.  https://www.whisperingknights.org/ © 2019 Jacqueline Knight Cotterill.  All rights reserved.
