Year 4 Pupils from St. Nicholas & St. Lawrence Junior School by Land Bone & Stone Poetry Parks published on 2017-08-07T10:55:23Z SATSYMPH in partnership with Land Bone & Stone Poetry Park Apps (LBS6 Eggardon Hill, LBS7 Maiden Castel) What better way to explore the magical county that has inspired many, than with words. An inspiring new Dorset based project does just that. Working with creative writing groups, and local school children, The South Dorset Ridgeway Poetry Parks will form part of the GPS Soundscape App family, through which people can discover, explore and gain new insight into this incredible Landscape. Developed by soundscape specialists SATSYMPH, including partner and acclaimed landscape Poet Ralph Hoyte working with adult writers, and storyteller, Martin Maudsley, working with Year 4 primary school children from Piddle Valley First School (Eggardon Hillfort), and St Nicholas & St Lawrence Junior School (Maiden Castle) and produced in collaboration for The South Dorset Ridgeway Landscape Partnership, to overlay a virtual, a digital sound world onto these key sites and features in the South Dorset Ridgeway area. These location-specific, GPS enabled soundscape apps will be sited at Eggardon Hill (seaward partition) and Maiden Castle. The Poetry Parks will then be accessed through the use of smart phones; using the GPS in mobile phones to trigger sound elements related to the location of the listener. We believe the Poetry Parks are among the first in the country to use poems created by writers from local communities that surround these ancient sites. Piddle Valley First School workshops took place on Eggardon Hill on the 27th June 2017 and St. Nicholas and St. Lawrence School for Maiden Castle on the 17th. July 2017. Sound recording: Mandy Rathbone (Piddle Valley First School) and David Rogers (St Nicholas & St Lawrence Junior School).
