大象传媒

Poet Pam Ayres first visited the Forest of Dean suffering from a broken heart, but she returns with a microphone and map to explore the 'land twixt the Severn and the Wye'.

During her rural roam, Pam discovers the grisly history of a Norman castle, meets a local naturalist and chats to author, Winifred Foley.

Down Your Way was one of the 大象传媒's longest-running radio series - starting on the 大象传媒 Home Service in 1946 and ending its run on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in 1992. Using a variety of hosts, including Richard Dimbleby and Brian Johnston, the programme toured villages, towns and cities across the UK. At the height of its success in the 1950s, the series was attracting 10 million listeners a week.
