Desire Lines Podcast, Part 3: Recreation Ground

‘Recreation Ground' is the third episode of the Desire Lines podcasts, a series of audio collages based on Crow Park in Keswick. These podcasts share research from Desire Lines, an art project led by artist Rebecca Beinart that engages with communities around Crow Park, hosted by the National Trust. The project explores the connections humans have with the natural world, and how a relationship with a local green space can open up global questions - including conservation, climate change, ecology and access. In Episode 3 we’ll hear about Crow Park as a space for leisure, play and imagination. Join Maurice, Jamie, Mary, Duncan, Suzi, Monique and children from St Herbert’s Primary School, to hear about changing uses and views of the landscape. They’ll take us from the birth of the picturesque movement and beginnings of tourism, to how a traveling theatre found a permanent home by the lakeshore, and other stories that spring from Crow Park. Thanks for joining us for this A&H Podcast. This podcast was edited and produced by R L Wilson. Recordings were made by Rebecca Beinart and RL Wilson.
