Episode Details

Ancient stone giants of the West Pennine moors, known as the “Two Lads,” are getting a historic upgrade—dismantled and rebuilt into a safer, beehive-shaped monument with a new dry stone wall. Once unstable and vandalized, these centuries-old landmarks now reflect community input and layered history, blending past iterations into a resilient future. While a public dig beneath them turned up no major treasures, it sparked local pride and participation. The restoration, set to finish by early autumn, honors folklore, Druid myths, and Enlightenment-era explorers—all while ensuring this iconic moorland feature endures for generations.
