Podcasts about Cotswolds

In the old towns and villages of Britain, before the police, before the tabloids, before social media shame-storms, there were other ways to deal with those who stepped outside the rules. Noisy ways. Cruel ways. Dangerous ways - the 'Rough Music' rituals — part punishment, part performance, part pagan magic — at the dark edge where community, cruelty and celebration collide. Liz Williams, the Glastonbury-based author, folklorist and pagan, came to the Bureau to talk about them.  Her latest book Rough Music: Folk Tradition, Transgression and Alternative Britain, explores often violent, forgotten traditions of noise, mockery, and ritual humiliation — and how they ripple forward into today's counterculture, protest movements, and online doxing.   And we hear about some other, less cruel, but deeply strange British rituals that cling on: the annual Cheese-Rolling at Cooper's Hill, The Burryman's Parade in Scotland and the yearly Shin Kicking competition in the Cotswolds..      #folklore #tradition #albion #cruelty #shaming #doxing #skimmington #roughmusic #counterculture

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, Jonathan Thomas explores the beauty and cultural significance of Cumbria and the Lake District. He shares his personal experiences, literary connections, and the planning process for his trip, including a writer's retreat. The conversation delves into the stunning landscapes, historical sites, and the unique charm of the region, emphasizing its importance in British culture and literature.

The region is deeply connected to British literature, especially with figures like Wordsworth. Planning a trip to Cumbria requires careful consideration of travel logistics. Exploring the Lake District offers breathtaking views and unique experiences. The writer's retreat provided invaluable insights into writing about landscapes. Driving the Hardknott Pass is a thrilling adventure for travelers. Cumbria is a popular holiday destination for British tourists. The local cuisine, including Cumbria sausage and Kendall mint cake, is worth trying. The landscape of Cumbria is characterized by its mountains and lakes. Future visits to Cumbria should include more literary and historical sites. Sound Bites "Many would argue that the soul of British culture and literature kind of lives in the Lake District, mostly because of its connections with William Wordsworth and his poetry." "It was the furthest point that the Romans went when they had conquered Britain. They actually built a fort at Hardknot that had a view of the Irish Sea." "The Hardknott Pass is Britain's most steepest and dangerous road... it has a 15% grade. The regulations on US highways are like that the grade can't be more than 3 or 4%. So this is 15%." "After she became famous, rich and famous from the Beatrix Potter books, she dedicated herself to preserving the landscape of the Lake District... The reason so much of the Lake District landscape is protected is because of Beatrix Potter." "It's a place British people travel for holiday... if you really want to get a sense of Britishness and how they vacation and how they holiday then Cumbria and the Lake District is the place to go for that." "Every turn of the road is like the most beautiful place you've ever seen... I had just had no idea how incredibly beautiful England and Britain's mountain landscapes can be." "The sun doesn't set to like 11 p.m. in the summer... we had these author events that would go to like 11 o'clock and there was still like this twilight at 11 p.m." "Getting to Cumbria and the Lake District is the hard part... it's very remote. It's as far away from London as you can get going into Scotland." "It's really been a place where people kind of scrap in existence... There was never a lot of wealth generated there like in other places like say the Cotswolds." "You really the best way to get around is by car because the Lake District is very poorly served by trains and buses because it's so remote."

In this week episode of Style DNA I go on a style journey with the British luxury footwear designer, the wonderful Penelope Chilvers.Penelope grew up in Britain but as a child she spent every school holiday in the province of Girona and her love affair with Spain and local craftsmanship began.For a few years, Penelope lived in the city of Barcelona, working as a painter and designer where she collaborated with artists and artisans. While living in Barcelona, she enjoyed riding in her lunch break in the national park of Collserola in the hills above the city wearing traditional Spanish riding boots. She pursued the idea of bringing the Spanish riding boot to England and commissioned a small number of traditional artisans in the hills of Spain to make the perfect equestrian boot to her own specifications.  The Long Tassel boot remains a firm favourite in the collection, most famously worn back in 2004 by Prince William's then girlfriend, Kate Middleton and the photo of her wearing these boots went viral the day they announced their engagement. HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales continues to wear her boots to this day.We chat about her memories of being allowed to tidy her mother's silk scarf drawer as a young girl and how that ignited her passion for colour, pattern and luxury.She has a dedication to timeless style, designing boots and shoes that will stand the test of time…she really believes in the power of longevity.  She tells me that she loves the process of taking care of her shoes and boots… how footwear can get better with age and wear…  and her desire to teach her customers how to care for their shoes…lovely. I ask her about how she feels about being the face of her brand and her response is charming and endearingly humble …she says she feels lucky that she is still relevant. She has clearly enjoyed creating and building her brand…saying it's like a work of art to her. Both of her daughters are now involved, one working with her on design and the other in marketing and as the company stylist. It is a true family business and Penelope clearly enjoys the cross generational aspect. I question whether she feels that her style changes when she spends time working in Spain, and she admits that it does actually… she admires the fact that Spanish women have a confidence and a femininity and that it's probably a little more formal.   The Penelope Chilvers brand has gone from strength to strength and has recently added a store in Stow on the Wold in the Cotswolds to its collection.In full disclosure I own several pairs of Penelope Chilvers shoes and boots…sublime embroidered velvet slippers, Spanish leather boots and beautiful suede cowboy boots … all timeless classics …I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you ⁠@penelopecheilvers⁠ for being such a lovely guest. xx---A message from our season sponsor: Join the millions of people hitting their weight loss goals with Simple.

The Farmer's Dog Bourton-on-the-Water Stow-on-the-Wold Cotswold National Landscape Takeaways The Cotswolds is a magical place for travelers. Self-catering offers more freedom and space than hotels.

Stassi is deep in the English countryside, living out her Jane Austen dreams—but with a side of Taco Bell delivery. Joined by Auntie Al and C-O-Lo, she's juggling parenting, sightseeing, and a few very unexpected roommates (think bats, spiders, and sheep).

Along the way, Stassi shares their favorite Cotswold towns, explains why graveyards are secretly joyful, and keeps it real about how social media makes the countryside look picture-perfect—when in reality, it's crowded, messy, and still completely magical.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Progressive: Visit Progressive.com to see if you could save on car insurance.Thrive Causemetics: Go to thrivecausemetics.com/STASSI for an exclusive offer of 20% offyour first order.Hiya: Receive 50% off your first order.

Dnešná epizóda podcastu je o nových luxusných SUV predstavených v rámci projektu Range Rover House na Mykonose a o tom, ako sa starať o elektrickú motorku na Slovensku. Videom a podcastom sprevádza Erik Stríž.Reportáž z naozaj drahej akcie Range Rover a čo vedieť o e-motorkáchRange Rover House MykonosAutomobilka Range Rover nás ako jedinú redakciu zo Slovenska pozvala na mimoriadne podujatie s názvom Range Rover House Mykonos. Ide o jeden z nástrojov na tvorbu vzťahu so zákazníkmi a novinármi, ktorý britská automobilka realizuje po celom svete, naviac tento rok oslavuje svoje 55. výročie vzniku.Prostredníctvom luxusného dizajnového ubytovania, apelu na historické kontexty, kvalitného jedla a „milionárskeho“ denného a večerného programu pripomína, kto sú jej reálni zákazníci. O tom, že Range Rover organizuje takéto prestížne podujatia „pre vyvolených“ , sme písali ešte minulý rok z podobnej akcie z okolia britského Cotswolds.Asi takto si predstavujeme tú pohodlnejšiu časť života agenta Jamesa Bonda v podaní herca Daniela Craiga.Range Rover nás v rámci programu zaviedol nielen do dizajnovej prímorskej vily s cielene vytvorenými akcentmi 70. rokov 20. storočia, ale aj na jachtu výrobcu Riva, ďalej sme autami jazdili po málo dostupných miestach ostrova Mykonos a vôbec sa postaral o nevšedné tri dni strávené s predstaviteľmi značky. Pre výrobcu bolo dôležité, aby nás prakticky presvedčil, že si tieto autá kupujú zákazníci nielen pre značku ako takú, prémiovosť a životný štýl, ale aj ohromujúcu všestrannosť týchto áut.Musíme uznať, že tento dôraz na kvalitu v nás zanechal pozitívne dojmy, pretože nám neprišiel nútený a hraný - naopak, tu môžeme hovoriť o autentickom luxuse, ktorý je podstatne vzdialený nášmu každodennému životu.Premiéry SV Fifty-Five a Sport SV Bespoke NocturneRange Rover na svojej dočasnej dizajnovej vile predstavil hneď dve verzie svojich známych vozidiel. Prvým je Range Rover SV Fifty-five, druhý je Range Rover Sport SV Bespoke Nocturne, obom sme venovali pozornosť v samostatnom článku.SUV Range Rover SV edície Fifty-Five zelenou farbou exteriérového laku Lincoln Green nadväzuje na prvý model značky zo začiatku 70. rokov, čo automobilka zdôraznila nevšedným spôsobom - obe tieto vozidlá postavila proti sebe na okraj útesu. Znamenité spojenie elegancie, robustnosti a nadčasovosti, naviac s možnosťou vidieť na vlastné oči dizajnovú kontinuitu, ktorá tieto automobily sprevádza vyše polstoročie.Tmavý Range Rover Sport SV je zasa historicky prvým modelom Sport s programom individualizácie Bespoke. Model s názvom Nocturne zaujme početnými karbónovými doplnkami, estetickými vylepšeniami interiéru v porovnaní s východiskovým modelom Sport SV a faktom, že ide o 1 z 1 - svetový unikát. Krátko po premiére na gréckom ostrove mal byť prevezený k jeho majiteľovi.Veľký rozhovor o elektrických motorkáchPre niekoho sú predmetom vtipov, pre iného vstupná brána do sveta jednej stopy. Elektrické motocykle sú na Slovensku stále obľúbenejšie. Sú pomerne lacné, vďaka možnosti šoférovať ich s vodičákom na auto ľahko dostupné a vynikajú svojou takmer bezúdržbovosťou.S Matúšom Digom, zástupcom importéra elektrických motoriek na náš trh, sme sa rozprávali aj o tom, ako má prebiehať kúpa a evidencia takéhoto motocykla, aké má výhody i nevýhody, či majú nárok na zelené EČV, a tiež ako je to s ich reálnou údržbou a PZP.

Everyone deserves time away in a cozy cottage by the sea. This week's sleep story, narrated by a soothing female voice, takes you to the charming village of St. Ives, England. If you enjoyed 'Stormy Night in the Cotswolds,' you'll find comfort in this sleepy tale set in historic Cornwall. Spend the afternoon exploring the harbor and quaint shops before a winding path leads you to an old cottage on the craggy cliffs. As a storm takes hold, you'll nestle by the fire and drift off to the sound of the ocean, soothing rain, and distant thunder. It's time to dream away.

  #LondonCalling: The Cotswolds with the Vances. @JosephSternberg @WSJOpinion

JD Vance has been in the Cotswolds this week on his Britain fantasy tour. This has been billed as a ‘holiday' but he did take the time out of his busy schedule to meet with some of Britain's right-wing politicians. Robert Jenrick, Chris Philp and Nigel Farage were all granted an audience with the vice-president, and even Danny Kruger and pillow salesman/Apprentice star Thomas Skinner got the call-up. The notable exclusion is, of course, Kemi Badenoch, who despite claiming to be firm friends with Vance was NFI'd. CCHQ claim this is due to scheduling, but clearly it's an embarrassing snub. So who is MAGA's favourite UK politician? And do the American right even care about what's going on in Britain?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Freddy Gray.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

While the Vice President holidays in the Cotswolds, Donald Trump's administration has accused the British government of “repeatedly” imposing “serious restrictions” on free speech - and accuses the UK of backsliding on human rights. The US State Department cites the Online Safety Act and abortion buffer zones, in its rationale for sounding the alarm about Britain's recent record - does it have a leg to stand on? LBC's political editor Natasha Clark joins Jon to explore that report.Later, with European leaders meeting with President Zelenskyy today, capitals across the continent are bracing for impact ahead of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday.

Scottish gamekeepers may refuse to help tackle wildfires in a dispute over licences for muirburn. Muirburn is the controlled burning of heather and other vegetation to encourage new growth, mostly to raise game birds for shooting. It takes place from autumn to spring, but from January next year it will be licensed and it will be an offence to carry out any burning without a licence. Gamekeepers say controlled burning reduces the amount of dead vegetation which fuels wildfires and if they can't do it, they say tackling future wildfires will become too dangerous.All week we've been following the harvest. It started early for many and one of the country's largest cherry growers in Herefordshire says warmer winters and summers are shortening the growing season. Britain's newest and largest Green Bridge is under construction in the Cotswolds as part of a half billion-pound road building scheme. When it's completed at the end of the year, the bridge won't be tarmacked - instead it'll be planted with grasses, wildflowers and shrubs designed to create a crossing for wildlife, and walkers over a new eight lane highway near Cheltenham.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Nigel Farage hosted a press conference today as part of Reform's summer crime campaign 'Britain is lawless'. He unveiled the latest Tory defector: Leicestershire's Police & Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews. Amidst all the noise of whether crime in the UK is falling or not, plus the impact of migration on crime, is Reform's messaging cutting through? Would US Vice President agree with Farage's message that Britain is lawless? Vance is in the UK, staying in the Cotswolds, as part of his summer holiday. Tim Shipman and Lucy Dunn are joined by James Orr, associate professor at Cambridge University, and a friend of Vance's to talk us through the dynamics between Trump, Vance, Starmer, Lammy and Farage. Does Farage have Vance's ear? Plus: James explains the rationale behind the new Reform-linked think tank that he is leading, saying that the Centre for a Better Britain is about seeking to build a 'politics of national preference'.

Meet the ICON behind the ICONIC brand

'Groot Brittannië smeult. Je hoeft de gloeiende as maar een beetje op te porren en de hele boel vat vlam”: zo staat te lezen in het onderzoeksrapport naar de hevige rellen die vorig jaar in Engeland plaatsvonden. Rellen die vijf dagen duurden en in het hele land voor onrust zorgden. Volgens de onderzoekers is Groot Brittannië een jaar later nog steeds ‘een powder keg’, oftewel een vat buskruit. Over racisme gesproken: daar hebben de Engelse voetbalvrouwen afgelopen weken enorm veel last van gehad. Het Engelse team drong door tot de finale van het EK - en wonnen van Spanje. Maar de racistische uitlatingen aan het adres van de Engelse voetbalvrouwen hebben voor het team een flinke stempel gedrukt op het EK. Ook in deze aflevering ‘De Amerikanen hebben een nieuwe regio ontdekt in Engeland en daar kunnen ze geen genoeg van krijgen: De Cotswolds. Sinds de Amerikaanse t.v. personality Ellen Degeneres vanwege de herverkiezing vanTrump naar de regio in zuid-west Engeland emigreerde, volgden steeds meer landgenoten haar voorbeeld. Waar Degeneres vast geen rekening mee heeft gehouden is dat de Amerikaanse vice president JD Vance de Cotswolds heeft uitgekozen om met zijn gezin de zomer door te brengen. Degeneres zal daar vast niet heel blij mee zijn, maar wat vinden de locals van deze Amerikaanse invasie? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

Producer Dom opens the Monday Mailbag to bring you two spine-tingling listener encounters that blur the line between the living and the lost.First, Sarah recounts a chilling hike up Mount Snowdon where she and a friend encountered a mysterious man dressed in old-fashioned climbing gear, only to later find a memorial plaque bearing his image.Was it a ghost, a time slip, or something else entirely?Dom dives into the eerie possibility of residual hauntings and time distortions on ancient paths.Then, Jake shares a lantern-lit encounter from the Cotswolds that left him and his sister deeply unsettled. A silent figure with an old lantern walks beside them through the dusk, only to vanish without a trace.When a local casually references “the old shepherd,” the mystery deepens.Is this a ghost still searching the hills for his lost flock?Dom unpacks the emotional weight of these encounters, exploring theories of residual energy, spirits tied to place, and the lingering echoes of past tragedies.Hauntings, legends, and landscapes rich with memory, this episode of Monday Mailtime will leave you looking over your shoulder on your next evening walk.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
