The Countryside in High Summer

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Introduced by Wynford Vaughan-Thomas
Eric Simms visits the RSPB Reserve at Arne in Dorset, the home of rare plants, snakes - and the Dartford Warbler. Ross Finlay tramps the West Highland Way - now the most spectacular long-distance walk in Britain despite the popularity of the Pennine Way; and Mollie Harris recalls a summer holiday in Wales with her grandsons. Robert Powell visits the picturesque hilltop village of St Briavels on the edge of the Forest of Dean; and The Rev. Donald Johnson goes to the Game Fair in Wiltshire. And did you know there are about 60 wild animals in the British Isles which did not originate here at all? Bob Danvers-Walker talks to Sir Christopher Lever, who has traced the origin of these particular species.
