Tales of Near and Yonder

Andrew Macpherson is fascinated with the legends and lore of places - the fantastic explanations of how they came to exist, where the place names come from, and the curious things that happened there.

In Tales of Near and Yonder you'll get to hear some of these marvellous stories - legends of standing stones, faerie caves, ancient origins and a truly amazing miracle in medieval York!
