The Griffin of Griffydam

Step into a world where old stories find new voices. Our Folktales Then and Now podcast explores the legends, landscapes, and hidden histories of Middle England, inspired by a much-loved 1954 edition of East Midlands folklore. Join us as we retell forgotten tales, visit the real places behind the pages, and uncover the magic still lingering in quiet villages, ancient woods, and winding country lanes. This first episode takes us to the county of Leicestershire and where the story tells of a majestic, mythical Griffin that cause chaos among the small village of Griffydam.  While our story-telling transports you back in time, our On Location exploration reveals real-life adventures!
