Words by Somewhere nowhere:

For the past two years, we’ve been visiting four upland regions of England – the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria’s Lake District, the Shropshire Hills and Dartmoor – as part of the nationwide ‘Our Upland Commons’ project. Our collection of insight pieces from the many people we’ve met, with photographs, short films, audio snippets and poems, is online here. It presents perspectives on commons at a critical point in time when the UK’s upland areas are dealing with many pressures and changes and seeking ways forward that will help these areas to thrive, for people and for nature.

This exhibition shares photography, film, prose and poetry by Rob and Harriet Fraser and videos captured by farmers through the nationwide Our Upland Commons project, alongside artefacts and archaeological pieces from the Dales. The exhibition presents a point in time and looks ahead, with perspectives from people involved in farming, wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, land management and tourism here in the Yorkshire Dales, and in Cumbria’s Lake District, the Shropshire Hills and Dartmoor.
