Wednesday - Into the Forest with Petroc Trelawny

Join Petroc Trelawny live from Gwydyr Forest in the Snowdonia National Park where he is joined by local musicians and guests. Immerse yourself in the forest with Radio 3 Breakfast.

Join Petroc Trelawny live from Gwydyr Forest in the Snowdonia National Park, with local musicians and guests exploring the remarkable heritage of the forest. An area richly mined for lead and tin in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the disused workings and slag heaps have proved ideal breeding grounds for rare plants and animals. Part journey of discovery, part refuge from the tumult of daily life, Radio 3 Breakfast brings the Forest to you.

In midsummer week, Radio 3 enters one of the most potent sources of the human imagination. 'Into the Forest' explores the enchantment, escape and magical danger of the forest in summer, with slow radio moments featuring the sounds of the forest, allowing time out from today's often frenetic world.
