Many came to show support to the valentines day event hug the hill fort. This event was to make a stand against planning permission to build houses close to the fort.The houses which would be built on the edge of the fort would also spoil the tranquility and views from the site.
The first three images of mine are going to be shown at a later hill fort exhibition in the Willow gallery Oswestery with other peoples work.
Love your Heritage

The event was covered well from photographs to film.

This was a great image to capture a couple getting into the spirit of the event hugging.

I couldn't resist taking this image, I thought it was great they came and showed support.
I liked this image of the little boy hugging the heart balloon.
Hands Off Old Oswestry Hillfort is what the banner stands for.
