Walker of the Downs

Daljit Nagra visits the BBC's poetry archive and selects Walker of the Downs featuring the Sussex Downs- the inspiration for the 1960s poet Ted Walker.

Martin Sorrell walks the Sussex Downs which, in the 1960s, provided nature poet Ted Walker with inspiration for some of his best work. He is joined by Mike Russell from the Sussex Wildlife Trust, who helps to evoke the essence of the land that Walker loved. Plus Patrick Romer reads a selection of Walker's poems.
