The Countryside in May

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

After one of the driest
Aprils on record, Wynford Vaughan Thomas looks at its effects on the countryside in May. Also this month, the Downton Cuckoo Fair gives its traditional welcome to spring, while in the Lake District there's a story about the old lakeland craft of horn-carving.
Mollie Harris continues her walk along the Cotswold Way, and as 1984 is Heritage Year, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings has launched a campaign to restore old barns.
Producer CAROLINE ELLIOT (Repeated: Wed 11.0 am)
