WB Yeats Tour App

Just been listening to a piece about this on the radio. Sounds like a really lovely thing to do in Chiswick

Here is the link to the article I read about it in January on this website:http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=yeatsmemorialbedfordpark007.htmAre there any other similar walks in the area ?I do remember there being a tree one in Ravenscourt Park sponsored by Horton & Garton.  It's a nice time of year to see what's bursting into leaf and flower.

There was a very good documentary on Sky Arts last week about W.B’s brother, the artist Jack B. Yeats. Jack was born in London and did spend time with the rest of the family in Bedford Park although he went to live in Sligo. Apart from his illustrative work he painted predominantly scenes of Irish life. As far as I know unfortunately there are no paintings of Chiswick which is a shame. The programme is available on catch-up.
