The final poem in the Skirrid Hill collection, "Skirrid Fawr," explores the value of nature as a source of solace in Sheers' existence. The poet investigates how nature may assist in addressing problems and learning more about oneself. In this way, he finds peace of mind. Sheers first came across the poem while reading through his works looking for something new to write about. When he read it, he said he felt as if someone had taken him by the hand and led him up onto Skirrid Hill, where they had shown him all the different aspects of the landscape that could offer comfort or relief from life's problems: "There were fields of barley and oats, woods full of primroses, pastures where cows lazed in the sun, and on top of the hill there was a great gash in the rock where the wind had blown away all vegetation for hundreds of years." Sheers went on to say that he believed the poem to be one of his best works yet written because of its ability to connect with readers on an emotional level. He said we should all try to take time out of our busy lives to go and see natural places whenever we can because they have such a positive effect on the soul.
