Episode description

Five more writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.

Today Helen Mort ventures up a Yorkshire hill to find Sylvia Plath’s much-vandalised gravestone, a battleground for those claiming the American poet's contested legacy.

Born in Sheffield, Mort is an award-winning poet and novelist.

Producer: Ciaran Bermingham
