Why do we feel connected to certain places? To certain landmarks, physical sites and imaginary stories? What does our love for city lanscapes or the great outdoors say about who we are?
These questions began swirling for Meg as a teenager, sat at the top of Old Oswestry Hillfort. And, nearly a decade later, she’s still captivated by them.
From battles over development to innovative archaeology projects involving local residents, Heart and Stone visits two, very different hillforts. One in Oswestry, England, and the other on the outskirts of Cardiff. Can the help us understand our relationship with place and heritage? Do they inform our communities, and offer new perspectives on what we call home?
