In the Drystone Fashion is a short film that looks at the work of local craftsman Chris Hodges as he re-builds a 150 year-old wall with treedeer wall on slopes of Little Doward, the well-known landmark on the northern outskirts of Monmouth.
Working on his own within the ancient woodland and using limestone that was dug from the hillside to build the original wall, Chris explains how he collects the fallen stone and the methods he employs to re-build the wall without using mortar.
He also talks of the beauty of his surroundings and his good fortune in having 'the best job in the world'.
