In todays swirling and twirling episode we explore one of the oldest traditions in England, the Abbott's Bromley Horn Dance.

At nearly 800 years old and counting this is an extraordinary piece of living folklore, bursting with myth and legend we plunge right into the heart of the dance, exploring its history and standing today from those that live and breath it.

Come, bring bells, join us as we dance a round and sing merrily to the old Gods.

Enjoy!

On todays FolkLands episode we explore the mysteries and wonders of one of our favourite places in the world, Avebury stone circle.

Teeming with retro hauntology and childhood memories of the Children of the Stones, these great sarsens were also the haunt of Derek Jarman and JRR Tolkien amongst many others.

Come with us we traverse the wild Wiltshire landscape with friend of the show Ed Parnell, completing our own Avebury triangle with Silbury Hill and the West Kennet Long Barrow.

Rufus Jones also takes us into Hardy country with an eerie reading from Tess of the d'urbervilles.

Enjoy!
