A project to improve the natural and historic landscape of a special part of North East Wales is now entering its third and final year. Heather and Hillforts project holds the footprint of past communities and cultures. An exceptional chain of Iron Age hillforts dominates the skyline. At certain times of year it's a purple spine awash with heather, providing both essential grazing for sheep and a habitat of European significance. Sian Pari Huws visits this natural and historic heritage of the Clwydian Range and Llantysilio Mountains which creates a truly unique landscape.
