Willowpool Designs started life with Steve Fuller as Hedgerow Baskets based in Longtown, Cumbria almost 30 years ago. Steve later moved to Canonbie, Scotland near to a famous fishing pool called willowpool on the river Esk. The business evolved into Willowpool Baskets as many of Steve’s willows were gathered from beside the river.
