From Great Yarmouth to Aberystwyth, Westering is a coast-to-coast journey
crossing the Fens, Leicester, the Black Country and central Wales. It connects
landscape, place and memory to evoke a narrative unravelling the deep
topography, and following a westerly route that runs against the grain of the
land, its geology, culture and historical bedrock.
With the industrial Midlands sandwiched between bucolic landscapes in East
Anglia and Wales, here we explore places too often overlooked. Along the way we
encounter deserted medieval villages, battlefield sites, the ghosts of Roman
soldiers, valleys drowned for reservoirs, ancient forests, John Clare's beloved
fields, and the urban edgelands.
Notions of home and belonging, landscapes of loss and absence, birds and the
resilience of nature, the psychology of walking, and the psychogeography of
liminal places all frame the story.
