New app celebrates Millom and Nicholson
Published: 29/03/2021
A NEW walking app inspired by the work of a Millom poet could bring culture-hungry visitors to the 'hidden gem' of a town.
The Norman Nicholson digital trail will take in routes that the poet himself would regularly walk.
The trails - there are currently two, with three more in the pipeline - are not just about Nicholson, and can be enjoyed by general visitors of all ages. It is hoped that people will enjoy the app in line with any current Covid-related restrictions.
