Lacemaking to survive the Great Famine

Ed Coulson narrates the forgotten history of a craft industry – bobbin lace making – that was central to survival in Headford, Ireland, during the devastating famine. The Headford Lace Project, initiated in 2016, researched, revived, and reimagined this lost history, creating a tale of resilience and perseverance that shaped the town. Coulson's audio walk, highlighting the lives of lacemakers and using innovative storytelling techniques, offers a glimpse into this fascinating piece of history.

Sound walk
Open Country's audio walks connect us with the great outdoors, through mindful descriptions and ambient sounds recorded on walks through beautiful countryside locations. Join narrator Tom as he explores Crackpots Mosaic Trail in North Yorkshire.

A descriptive journey through beautiful, rural countryside in North Yorkshire, England. Tom, our narrator, describes what he sees and senses along the route, all accompanied by the ambient sounds of nature. The walk follows the route of Crackpots Mosaic Trail, where a series of mosaic plinths represent aspects of the local landmarks, flora and fauna. As he meanders through moorland fringes, rugged farmland, leafy lanes, riverside paths and wooded glades, Tom experiences wildlife encounters and explores the history of this remote corner of Nidderdale.
