Litter Parade

Walking art journal documenting litter along the historic King's Parade and the stunning Cambridge Backs.

Walking Art

Before Covid, I would regularly purchase a coffee from Benet's Cafe, then sit outside and take in the views of the majestic King's College before taking a morning stroll along the backs. On this occassion, due to the restriction of pandemic, I enjoyed my takeaway coffee socially distanced sitting on the King's College wall. However, my view was marred by the amount of litter scattered across the grass and at the foot of chapel. Why can't people use the numerous bins?

After the coffee, I set off on the short walk along the Cambridge backs and round to the Mill Pond.
