Hiraeth means a sense of belonging and home comming, a sense of self with the landscape. Obviously most Welsh people feel it towards somewhere in Wales they feel bonded with, but it could be anywhere really and of course it's not just Welsh people that feel it.
There are a few places that make me feel this, here on Anglesey, obviously, but also south Dorset around Weymouth, it's like I know this land, it makes my soul feel young, I can feel the generations of people who have lived and loved in this landscape. It's more than just liking somewhere or happy holiday memories but something deeper and more ancient.
Anyone else know this feeling?
