Even if you don’t speak Welsh, you’ll at least partly understand perthyn – belonging – and hiraeth – longing for what’s lost. They’re deep, deep links to the land

Many of us have enjoyed accessing different spaces around our town of Pontypridd over the years. Spaces that provide us with a strong sense of perthyn, of feeling related to and belonging with these places.

People make spaces, places, and in the act of doing so, name them. In their turn these places may also leave us with a strong sense of hiraeth, a longing for spaces that hold a special place in our hearts, long after we have left them, or they us. We carry our memories and our names for them in our hearts, wherever we may go.
