Walking Ryeband Fields …… on the wireless

Well here is a little gem.

I missed all the adverts for the programme and caught it by chance this morning on the World Service.

It is a picture of the history  and the place today, which captures the magic of the fields, along with a discussion on the proposed developments and an examination of the benefits of keeping it as it is now.

And that is all I am going to say.

Other than to say, it's a wonderful bit of radio, and well worth a listen.
