Legends of the Cornish Landscape

Forgotten tales from Cornwall’s past

Join Keith Wallis, host of the Piskie Trap Podcast, and Elizabeth Dale, writer and creator of The Cornish Bird blog, for their latest talk exploring legends in the Cornish Landscape. From the windswept tors and headlands, to secluded woods and valleys, and rambling highways and byways, each has their own tale to tell . . . 

Elizabeth Dale's work spans blogs, podcasts, tv shows and more. She has contributed to BBC Radio 4, ITV's Julia Bradbury’s Cornwall & Devon Walks and Devon and Cornwall Walks with Michael Portillo. She has also researched and appeared in Channel 5’s Fern Britton’s My Cornwall series in 2022 and 2023, and her other programme, Watercolour Challenge. In November 2022, she was awarded Cornwall Heritage Trust’s Heritage Champion Award for her significant contribution to Cornwall’s heritage.

Keith Wallis is host of ‘The Piskie Trap’ – a podcast series exploring the folklore, history and legends from across Cornwall. His recent work has involved a number of collaborations with leading historians, writers, folklorists and storytellers, as part of a movement to preserve local folklore traditions, and to promote Cornish history and heritage.

 

Some darker tales and material are mentioned in this talk, recommended age 14+.
