Our Heritage

Where Kings Gathered, we recreate the legacy

In 927 AD, King Æthelstan convened a gathering of kings at the River Eamont near Penrith. Five kings from Wessex, West Wales, Alba, Strathclyde and Northumbria and a meeting that led to the first political unification of the English-speaking kingdoms.

We see the faint echos in the landscape but now 1100 years later we create new artworks, footpaths and history trails that will keep the legacy shining bright.

Making our own history.
