The Forbidden Corner is full of strange things...

To see them all you must find you way,

And don't believe what others say.

They're anywhere and eveywhere,

So go in search, but please take care.

In woodland glade or the dark world below,

Watch your step and mind how you go.

Make it tough for others and don't let them find you,

By being sure to close all doors behind you.

Repulsive dwarf, defromed and all,

Emerges from beneath the wall.

Eyes of red and scales of blue,

Look close enough and he may surprise you.

And what is this,
We've come to pass?

A pyramid,

Of solid glass!

Standing there,

For all to see,

A little boy,

Having a pee.

Come and look,

And wonder why.

You can see,

Through a stone eye.

Where's the Grotto,

North or South?

Get it straight,

From the horse's mouth.

What's this monster,

All about?

First thing you know,

He'll spit you out.

Venus looks out over the dale,

It has been said her cheeks are pale,

But she spends her life standing outside,

Are they really pale? Friend you decide.

The snake pulsates,

With the light it sheds.

Dare you pass,

Between the heads.

Pluto stands,

Trident in hand.

Ruling over his,

Underworld land.

Close by St Cuthberts as you might know,

Lie merry old dalesfolk who lived long ago.

Their verses give insight to the world as twas then,

When women were women and men, well, were men!

The Silver Swan lands by a pool,

Water runs crystal clear.

To drink or bathe will do you good,

And you can do either here.

Once I was a tree,

Now a dog you see!

Quite a change, you remark,

But still I have my bark.

Giants among us everywhere,

Though mortals rarely see.

One, you can though if you try,

Is the Green Knight in the tree.

Go quietly for fear they shy away,
And you'll see no antler or or bob tail.
With graceful speed it's fair to say,
They are the Monarchs of the Dale.

Round the World...In One Night

Unity

We need to unite the people,

We need to make them see,

The future of our beautiful world lies in peace and harmony.

Let's not be bowed by warfare,

Let's not dwell on negativity,

Be postive about the future,

Raise your hands and see,

That love is the most powerful weapon,

Love will conquer all.

Lay down your arms and lift up your hearts,

Hear the joyous call!

That love is the most powerful weapon,

And love will conquer all!

Whatever...

Tonehenges

Imagine 5000 years ago, a group of mystical druids who studied the movements of the sun and the patterns of the stars, who believed in a religion that has been lost through time. The wisest of them gathered and began to erect a montholithic structure of tremendous proportions with the help of their followers, so they had a place to worship and perform their pagan rituals. How did they perform these amazing feats of ingenuity? And what was its exact purpose. Listen carefully to a language long forgotten to see if you can somehow unlock its mystery...

High Stakes in Salisbury

An awe-inspiring (pun intended) sight to behold, the point of the Salisbury cathedral is the tallest in all of the land, dominating the landscape wherever one goes. It also houses the world's oldest still working mechanical clock, not to mention a rather pious cafe where one can have a bit of body and blood with jam and cream.
