Commons Stories
Commons Stories is a collection of stories from four upland common regions across England: Dartmoor, the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and the Shropshire Hills.
You’ll find written and photographic portraits of people, short videos, audio clips, and reflections on events through the year, as well as reflections on some of the challenges of building sustainable futures for people and landscape in these special places.
The collection is put together by somewhere nowhere duo, writer Harriet Fraser and photographer Rob Fraser, with contributions from commoners using GoPro cameras to capture snippets of their day-to-day lives on the farm and in the hills.

Handing over a flock
Handing over the Landlord’s Flock at Nook Farm, Borrowdale. When a National Trust farm changes hands, and is passed on to a new tenant, that person also takes on the hefted flock. Today Craig Fearon takes on the flock that Stanley Jackson has looked after for decades.
