For today's episode of Dog Days we have a slightly shorter chapter, though one filled with revelations care of a pair of the Earl of Northumberland's closest allies, Hues and Harriot, two of the 'Three Magi.'While they speak, in the shattered ruins of the 'Jew Gardens' - a historic graveyard left to grow wild - the sun shines down from above, and Kit feels something rising within him - a new kind of heat that certainly seems supernatural.Yet picking apart all of Hues' provocations and Harriot's kind overtures, Kit believes he has begun to piece things together.Though the location of 'The Rainbow' remains a mystery, he now has good reasons to believe his enemies may be men he before thought allies - foes wearing masks of friendship which have started to slip...Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

“In a world where our wildlife is becoming extinct at a frightening rate, we are setting up an oasis where animals, wild flowers and even ancient fungi can thrive.” Charlie Bennett writing of Middleton North Farm. It's clear to most of us that the existing food and farming system is unsustainable.  What's less clear is what to do about it, particularly when the behemoths of the industry put so much time, effort and money into propaganda which suggests we can't feed humanity unless we keep doubling down on the industrial systems that are destroying our soils, our watercourses and our health.  Given this toxic mix of misinformation, government bureaucracy and algorithms engineered to keep us at each others' throats, it's not surprising the waters are muddied. And yet the signposts are out there and brave pioneers across the continents are working to find ways to feed people healthy, nutritious food at prices they can afford while also building soil, increasing water uptake —which is another way of saying we're reducing flooding— and returning life to the land. One of these glorious pioneers is Charlie Bennett of Middleton North farm in Northumbria. I came across Charlie  in the closing days of 2024 when I read his first book 'Down the Rabbit Hole' and promptly bought copies to give to all my friends. HIs writing was at once lyrical and grounded in a reality I recognised—and he was writing about regenerative farming, except he called it 'Common Sense Farming'.  I wrote to him then, and we've corresponded ever since and now he's this week's guest on the podcast. Charlie Bennett is a farmer, writer, and passionate advocate for the countryside. He is joint owner of the Middleton North estate near Morpeth, Northumberland, in North East England. Here, he and his wife Charlotte work to support existing wildlife and attract new species alongside sustainable stock farming designed to add to the diversity of wildlife in the area. Trigger Warning: Charlie and I share a passion for the land and a deep sense of connectedness to the more than human world. We both live in a reality where humans (sometimes) eat meat so if discussions of the reality of this might be difficult for you, please skip past those bits. Otherwise, please do enjoy this exploration of how we can share our world differently with the Web of Life.

At Alnwick Castle, the 4th Duke of Northumberland is probably best known for his restoration of the castle in the 1850s and 1860s, transforming the State Rooms and creating the Great Kitchen. But before all that work began, he had encountered a man named George Shaw, who was able to convince him to buy a number of pieces of antique furniture from old Percy properties. The problem? George had faked this furniture, making it himself, and deceiving the duke about its origins.To find out more about this story, we spoke to Dr Peter Lindfield of Cardiff University - an expert on George Shaw - and Frances McIntosh of English Heritage, who looks after the Duke's Rooms at Warkworth Castle, where you can still see some of the George Shaw furniture bought by the 4th Duke. We found out just who George Shaw was, what happened when the duke figured out he'd been conned, and why this Victorian rogue might be considered a 19th century Robin Hood!We hope you enjoy hearing all about it. To visit the Duke's Rooms, please visit the Warkworth Castle website through English Heritage for full information.

Born the fourth son of the mighty John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, Guildford Dudley was a member of the nobility, but being the fourth son, was by no means deemed particularly significant, that is, until his marriage to the girl who would go on to become England's shortest reigning monarch, so who was Guildford Dudley, what was his early life like and is there any truth in the theory that he and Jane Grey hated each other?

En lo profundo de Northumberland, al norte de Inglaterra, se alza una fortaleza medieval que ha resistido siglos de guerras, intrigas y muerte.El Castillo de Chillingham no solo es famoso por su arquitectura imponente y su historia sangrienta, sino también por las leyendas que lo envuelven: espectros que deambulan por pasillos helados, susurros que se oyen en la oscuridad, y una presencia maldita que aún habita sus mazmorras.En este episodio, exploramos los relatos más espeluznantes de este castillo encantado, donde el pasado se niega a descansar.

On the podcast this week, Nick takes us on a roving audio tour of SIBA Beer X—the UK's largest brewing trade show—capturing raw, on-the-ground insights straight from the tradeshow floor.Armed with a microphone and plenty of curiosity, Nick chats with a cross-section of UK brewery owners, brewers, and industry folks to ask two simple but telling questions: Where are the biggest opportunities in beer right now? And what's the greatest challenge facing the industry?From Twice Brewed in Northumberland to The Driftwood Spars on the Cornish coast, the conversation quickly reveals patterns—especially around the rise of alcohol-free beers. Brewers from Wiper & True and Utopian Brewing reflect on the practical and commercial benefits of brewing 0.5% ABV, while others highlight the increasing need to stand out with unique brand stories and community-led initiatives.Nick also speaks with Laura from Abbeydale Brewery and Catherine from Attic Brew Co. about how breweries can differentiate themselves through values, storytelling, and local engagement.The episode also explores cross-category innovation, including a conversation with a craft distiller offering contract services to breweries looking to diversify into spirits. And there's a catch-up with Broadtown Brewery—whose founder left a career in railway engineering to follow his passion for beer and pubs - and Combie from Round Corner Brewing on their decision to embrace cask beer.While some of the best conversations were, frustratingly, never recorded (

Once widespread around the UK, persecution from farmers and gamekeepers meant Britain's second biggest bird of prey had disappeared from England and Wales by the mid-19th Century.金雕曾广泛分布于英国，但由于受到农民和猎场看守人的迫害，作为英国第二大猛禽的金雕在 19 世纪中期就从英格兰和威尔士消失了。The numbers recovered a little after the two world wars, but England's last resident golden eagle, who'd lived alone for ten years in the Lake District, died in 2015.两次世界大战后，金雕的数量略有恢复，但最后一只居住在英格兰的金雕在湖区独自生活了十年后于 2015 年死亡。But from 2018 the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project began moving young eagles from the Scottish Highlands. The birds are fitted with satellite trackers, and the data shows that at least three or four of them have begun venturing into England this year, with several sightings in Northumberland.但从 2018 年开始，苏格兰南部金雕项目开始将幼鹰从苏格兰高地迁移出去。这些鸟的身上被安装了卫星追踪器，追踪数据显示至少有三到四只金雕今年开始大胆地尝试飞到英格兰，人们在诺森伯兰郡多次目击金雕。Whether they will stay and nest is unclear, but their visits are welcome news for those who regard golden eagles as one of nature's most majestic creatures.它们是否会留下来并筑巢尚不清楚，但它们的到访对那些视金雕为大自然最雄伟的生物之一的人们来说无疑是个好消息。

Clare is in Northumberland today for the final episode of this Camino de Santiago themed series. She's walking along a section of Hadrian's Wall with a fabulous group of women - the Ciao Ciao Girls - celebrating the 10th anniversary of their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Since then, they've become a tightly bonded unit who gather every year to complete another walking challenge. For today's joyful, windy and very rainy hike they met at the Steel Rigg car park, and completed a circular walk including the remains of the tree at Sycamore Gap. As they wander they reflect on their first adventure together on the Camino, what that experience brought them, and continues to bring them ten years on.Steel Rigg Car Park, NE47 7AW / What3Words: teacher.spelling.tweedPresenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

High above the meeting point of two mighty rivers, where the Susquehanna splits into its North and West Branches, stands Shikellamy State Park. Perched on a forested bluff in central Pennsylvania, this park offers more than just scenic overlooks. It's a gateway to the natural beauty, cultural history and outdoor adventure of the Susquehanna River Valley. Shikellamy State Park is a place where geography and heritage intersect. The story of the park and the story of the Native American tribes that called it home are forever intertwined. In the 1700s, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy took control of the surrounding area.  Nearby Shamokin – whose name means “the Place of Eels” - was one of the most important Indigenous cities in Pennsylvania during that time. The resident Haudenosaunee welcomed tribes including the Conestoga, Conoy, Nanticoke, Tuscarora, Lenape and the Shawnee displaced by settlers.The French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the purchase of the land by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania forced many of the Indigenous people in Pennsylvania to move west or north.The park – which is made of up two separate sections – held numerous purposes over the years. It was an air strip, homestead, farm, “pleasure ground,” amusement center and hotel before becoming a state park in 1962. Shikellamy State Park's two distinct areas is the marina along the river in Sunbury, and the scenic overlook high on the bluff in Northumberland. Each area offers a different experience—from peaceful boating and fishing on the Susquehanna to breathtaking vistas of the valley below. It's a rare park that invites you both to explore water-level wilderness and to rise above it all for a bird's-eye view.Shikellamy's unique location has made it a hub for both recreation and reflection—a place where families come to picnic, hikers go to find solitude, and birders gather to catch sight of bald eagles soaring over the river.But Shikellamy isn't just about quiet beauty—it's about connection. The park sits at the crossroads of culture, drawing in people from nearby towns and beyond. Whether it's for community events, wildlife watching at the overlook, or simply taking a moment to breathe in the valley air, visitors come here to feel grounded.There's a rhythm to this park—seasonal, historical, natural. Spring floods give way to summer sun, and autumn paints the hills in brilliant reds and golds. And in every season, Shikellamy offers a chance to see the world from a new perspective—both literally and figuratively.On this episode, I speak with Ben Bender. Ben is the park manager of the Shikellamy State Park complex. Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersSupport the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

250 years ago, the American Revolutionary War effectively began with fighting at Lexington and Concord. Among the British soldiers present was Hugh Percy, eldest son of the 1st Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, and future 2nd Duke.What was the heir to Alnwick Castle doing in America? What did he think of the country soon to be known as the United States? And what is his connection to Charles Lee (of Hamilton fame), who would become second-in-command to George Washington himself?To answer these questions, and many more, we spoke to one of our favourite regular guests on the podcast, Bill Openshaw, whose new book The Road To Lexington chronicles Percy's letters and papers from his time in America, studied comprehensively for the first time. (You will also hear about a new discovery, of letters by another man from Alnwick who served in America, William Charleton.)You can get a copy of the book from major online retailers, or right here at the Alnwick Castle gift shop.For more about the 2nd Duke and Bill, look in our podcast back catalogue for episodes 'To the Call of Bugles', 'The 2nd Duke of Northumberland', and 'The Percy Tenantry Volunteers'.Enjoy the episode?

Send us a textA very warm welcome today to midwife and educator Suzanne Crozier. We are talking about a book called The Midwife by Tricia Cresswell, which is an absolutely brilliant historical fiction novel, which Suzanne and I both enjoyed enormously for some similar and some different reasons.The Midwife is set in rural Northumberland and in Victorian London. And it's one of those brilliant books with dual narratives, with two wonderful protagonists. It keeps you guessing, and makes you think. There are so many themes in here around public health, gender, health, status, community, poverty. It's an absolutely cracking read and I have thoroughly enjoyed talking to Suzanne.

The last time acclaimed writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Civil War, Annihilation) appeared on Script Apart, he told Al about his desire to quit directing temporarily and focus on writing – you know, like in the early days of his career. Well, it doesn't get much more like those early days than returning to the blood-soaked quarantined Britain he imagined two decades ago, with a director who he shared an incredibly fruitful partnership with around the turn of the century.28 Years Later, which hit cinemas on Friday, sees Alex team up once more with Danny Boyle – the filmmaker with whom he made The Beach and Sunshine, as well as a 2002 zombie horror that redefined the genre. This sequel, however, is no retread of the film that sent a shiver through Britain's spine. It's a deeply contemplative meditation on Britain, death and how history is remembered and misremembered. The film stars Alfie Williams as Spike, a boy living in a protected tidal island community off the coast of Northumberland, who leads his mother, played by Jodie Comer, on a dangerous quest onto the mainland in search of a doctor to cure a mysterious ailment. What follows is not what many fans expected, in all the best ways.What you're about to hear is a spoiler-filled conversation delving deep into the influence of Brexit on the film. We dissect that ending and its allusions to a disgraced figure from British pop culture history. Also explored: the origins of the Alpha zombies, the inspiration behind Ralph Fiennes' Kelson character, and Alex's original draft of a 28 Years Later movie, which saw Chinese special forces infiltrate Britain in search of the lab where the rage virus began.

Send us your thoughts! Daniel Vildosola and John Waugh may come from opposite sides of the Atlantic—one from the sun-scorched deserts of Arizona, the other from the rolling hills of Northumberland, UK—but together, their music finds an effortless middle ground. Drawing from their vastly different environments, they've created a sound that feels natural, fusing Americana and jazz with a sense of place and history that's both personal and expansive.Individually, they've cut their teeth on the world stage in pop music—Vildosola, a long- standing member of HÆLOS, producing various artists, and more recently, touring extensively with CMAT. While Waugh has spent over a decade playing with the chart- topping powerhouse, The 1975. Despite their success in the pop world, they now find themselves retreating to intimate venues, where they can explore a more organic, jazz- infused sound, drawing from the folk traditions and stories of their respective homes.Support the show

In this special episode of Sleepy Seedlings, we travel to the windswept hills of Northumberland, where a solitary sycamore once stood in a dip along Hadrian's Wall. Known as the Sycamore Gap Tree, it became one of the most photographed in the world — a place of stillness, of memory, and quiet meaning. And then, one morning, it was gone. What follows is a gentle reflection on grief, legacy, and the deep bond between people and trees. We explore how a single tree came to hold so much love, how its loss stirred something far beyond headlines, and how — in seeds, saplings, and silence — it continues to grow. Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textWe have travelled back in time to the medieval period to share a story with William Marshall and his crew. As you probably know, William Marshal was known to be the greatest knight ever to live, and we can tell you why. He was a Werewolf. Yes, Fenrir, our wolf soul, has been in a number of humans' lives, and one of them and one of the most famous ones was the Marshal of England. So come and join the gang—William, Percy, Lord of Northumberland, and Gervais de Montagne in their next adventure. The last time we met them, they had just killed a dragon, and as a side note, they had also killed the Count de Perigord and his daughter after the man had lied to them. This time, the new Count de Perigord, direct descendant of Charlemagne, is trying to exact his revenge. I besiege you to listen.

Known for her captivating blend of mystery, romance, and gothic elements, Politano delves into the inspirations behind her newest work.

About the book The Curious Inheritance of Blakely House The new century is still young when clockmaker Sydney Forrester finds that she is the heiress of Blakely House, an estate off the coast of Northumberland. To say she is surprised is an understatement, considering the estate was owned by an estranged uncle whom she never met. Blakely House comes with an array of peculiar inventions, but it also comes with two nephews determined to oust Sydney from her newfound property. With the help of an unlikely ally, Sydney works to uncover the secrets of the estate—including who murdered its late owner. But when a mysterious man washes ashore with a stunning surprise, Sydney must prove she has inherited the late master's brilliance as well as his property.  Joanna's books: Lady Jayne Disappears, A Rumored Fortune, Finding Lady Enderly, The Love Note, A Midnight Dance, and The Lost Melody Connect with  Joanna Davidson Politano: Newsletter, Baker Book House, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Instagram.

You would absolutely know a lychgate if you saw one. They make popular backdrops for wedding photos, and provide a quaint air of rustic charm to country churchyards. They're the wooden or stone gateway, complete with tiled roof, that marks the entry into the churchyard. Not all churches have them, and they're far more common outside churches in the countryside than in suburban or city-centre churches. Yet they do have some folklore attached to them. Let's take a look at what they were for and what beliefs they gave rise to. We'll also look at some popular burial markers you might see in churchyards or cemeteries to broaden our focus to the wider burials. So let's have a look in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

I started out with the intention of looking at unusual church names. The problem was, this offered the potential to accidentally poke fun at their congregations. It also didn't help that most churches in the UK have pretty similar names. They're named for individual saints, like St Nicholas' Cathedral in Newcastle, or even all saints like, funnily enough, All Saints. Otherwise, they're named for their location. Yet many churches have such names and preserve a touch of their history, or that of their location, through their names - much like pubs. So I thought I'd look at those churches whose names deviate, even slightly, from the usual 'St Andrew's Church' format. So when I say 'unusual', that's what I mean. Not like the usual names, rather than weird or strange! So let's explore the origins of some church names in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
