About

In 2021 – 2022, artist Annie Harrison walked from her home in Mytholmroyd in West Yorkshire to Hull in East Yorkshire. Following the river network, the walk took her along the Calder and Aire through Castleford.


Along the way, Annie collected plants, stories and impressions. She created artworks inspired by the landscape she encountered.


Follow her journey of discovery. Find out how the river became her trusted companion. See the paintings, prints and pieces she created in response.




From 14 April to 9 May 2025, also head to Queen’s Mill to admire Annie’s panoramic textile centrepiece and trace the full river route. Enjoy the spectacular hanging against a backdrop of the River Aire and Castleford’s Millennium Bridge.


Please note Queen’s Mill is open 9am-3pm, Monday-Friday.
