Wordsworth's County Remade
In 2015, floods devastated much of Cumbria. Helen Mark visits the Lake District to hear how the landscape celebrated by Wordsworth is being reclaimed for the 21st century.
The Lake District was known as 'Wordsworth's County'. Today the poets words are being used to rediscover his homelands with a new app designed to get visitors to explore the lesser known areas celebrated in Wordsworth's work. Helen Mark visits the Lakes one year after Storm Desmond devastated the area to discover how the community and landscape has recovered and how the land of one of our most celebrated poets is being reimagined for visitors of the future.
