The trail features 11 poetry plaques, including two in National Trust coastal areas.

The plaques showcase poems from The Poetry Field, a new book by local author Anthony Keyes.

The collection covers a variety of themes, including specific locations, historical narratives, sport, and the seaside.

Mr Keyes shared that his work is deeply influenced by a range of sounds and emotions.

The trail was inaugurated in the Weston-super-Mare town square by the town’s mayor, Cllr Martin Williams, and Cllr Mike Solomon, North Somerset Council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and open spaces.

A spokesperson for Mr Keyes said: “The North Somerset Poetry Trail is a wonderful showcase of Anthony’s work, and we hope everyone enjoys the trail and visiting the locations where the poems have been inspired by.”

They continued: “The trail also offers a way to explore more of the North Somerset coastline and enjoy some lesser-known spots.”

The poetry trail was devised by Mr Keyes, who was inspired by his love for the area.

It is available to explore via the Go Jauntly app.
