Reflections and Connections

BBC Radio 4 - Open Country, Reflections and Connections

As the year turns, four individuals reflect on their relationship with the landscape.

As the year turns, four individuals reflect on their relationship with the landscape and the strength and importance of this connection.

A wildlife cameraman, a sea swimmer, a poet and a professional tree climber reflect on their relationship with their local landscape; sea, loch, rocky beach and woodland on the cusp of a new year.  From a new understanding of home to the discovery of one’s real self, their reflections are inspiring, insightful and powerful.
Produced by Sarah Blunt for BBC Audio in Bristol.
