Life of Exmoor nature writer Hope Bourne recognised with exhibition

Views of forward-thinking artist and writer who lived off land in national park celebrated at museum in Glastonbury

She was considered an eccentric by some, eking out a frugal existence on a wild English moor, surviving off the land and exchanging her sketches of the countryside for meals.

But the first museum exhibition on the life and work of the largely forgotten nature writer and artist Hope Bourne highlights that her views on the environment, recycling, access to the countryside - even rewilding - were ahead of her time.
