Pooh corner 2026.

A tricky pull over on a tight bend of the Clyde Mountain. The parking spot is a little sketchy, and it has just started raining. So this is going to be a quick stop to capture the state of the iconic Pooh Corner.

The site was established in the early 1970s by local potato farmers Barbara and David Carter for their children. A large rocky hole in the side of Clyde Mountain became the imaginary home for the beloved children’s character, Winnie the Pooh. Barbara marked the spot with a sign, letting other travelers know that the hole belonged to Pooh Bear. Soon, visitors to the cave began to join in by adding more teddy bears to the collection.

While Pooh Bear’s Corner has occasionally fallen victim to graffiti and fires, the sign and stuffed toys always return. More recently, some visitors have taken to leaving supplies for Pooh, namely honey and beer.

I can report that Pooh Bear himself is the sole occupant of the cave right now. There is a small collection of stuffed animals living scattered amongst the ferns on a ledge above the cave. I’m not sure if they moved out to give Pooh a little contemplative space for a while, or if they were flung up there against their will by passing idiot humans.

Never the less, the cave is generally clean and graffiti-free right now, and Pooh seems content and happy. I’m pretty sure he was meditating when I arrived, so I did not disturb.
