To celebrate 100 years of National Trust ownership at Coleridge Cottage we commissioned poet, Jo Bell, to create a piece of poetry inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

About the poem
Jo worked on an 'input' poem, which uses ideas and suggestions from the public to weave into her work.
Inspired by Kubla Khan, Jo asked: 'What would you put in your pleasure dome?'.
The contribution from supporters of Coleridge Cottage and members of the public was terrific. We feel that the poem really captures the essence of Somerset, and were surprised how often 'cider' came up as giving pleasure!
