Set in one of Hampshire's most famous landmarks: the Iron Age Hillfort of Danebury Hill, this week's episode is a magical story which brings to life the wood which circles the fort.
The story takes place in the 16th century when a Royal Charter was granted for Danebury to be used as a site for a rural fair, on a very hot day in late July, as John the farm labourer had just finished work having been given the afternoon off to go to the fair.
Little did he suspect the strange and unusual things that were about to happen to him …
This is a perfect story for all the family
After the story, I chat with Peter Norton from The Ancient Yew Group who tells me some fascinating facts about amazing Yew trees!
The episode is accompanied with music by renowned folk musician Paul Sartin and Hampshire Country Dance Tunes from the Pyle family manuscript of 1822.
