Beyond the Hedge: The People and Stories that Shape the British Countryside
ScribehoundWelcome to Beyond the Hedge where the writer, Patrick Galbraith, goes in search of the places, people, traditions and tales that make rural Britain extraordinary.
Join Patrick as he heads out along the backroads to meet publicans, writers, hedgelayers, butchers, poets and keepers of everything from pigs to grey partridges to bees.
He explores often-complex and sometimes-thorny themes with the help of real experts – practitioners with their hands in the soil and academics who’ve spent their lives thinking about things like the cultural history of fishing. Beyond the Hedge gets to the heart of rural Britain, as it was, is now and will be in the future.
