Culture

Many of our 200 Landmarks are geographically remote, but none stand in isolation. Instead they are woven into the very fabric of culture, buildings and landscapes having long inspired the inhabitant, the passer-by and the creative. Here we celebrate Landmarks as places of inspiration with words by Robert Macfarlane, paintings by Kurt Jackson, poetry by Liz Berry, music by Iestyn Davies and much more. From here you can read, watch and listen to the warp and weft of cultural connection by artists at the forefront of contemporary creativity.
