Poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan talks about the Teesdale School's Poetry Competition
Radio Teesdale had a poetry competition for pupils in Teesdale Schools. The task was to write a poem about Teesdale. There was a great many wonderful entries. Ian McMillan, one of the UK’s top poet joined the judging panel and selected Lee Robison of Montalbo Primray School’s entry as the overall winner. Ian also kindly spoke to Annalisa Ward about the competition and read Lee’s poem:
You can visit High Force to see a waterfall.
Our historic castle and Eggleston Hall.
With numerous bridges over the Tees,
A beautiful river overlooked by trees.
Bowes Museum or Egglestone Abbey,
Amazing views that make you feel happy.
Great times to be had, you’ll never fail,
Whenever you visit beautiful Teesdale.
