Nature Writing Workshop: Hope Bourne and Exmoor

In this creative writing workshop, Guardian Country Diarist Sara Hudston shares her passion for Bourne’s work and offers inspiring guidance for developing your own writing about the natural world.

Hope Bourne (1918-2010) was a writer and artist who spent almost sixty years chronicling the landscape, wildlife, history and changing rural traditions of Exmoor. Discover her work and life on Exmoor in the exhibition A Life Outside: Hope Bourne on Exmoor.
