On this week's episode, Martin and Eleanor bustle to Berkshire, the "Royal County," and tell the tale of "Herne the Hunter."

After chatting through a raft of folk festivals taking place this week, including Nutting Day, the Hop Hoodening, and Colchester's Barnet Fair, they cut to the chase and explore the history and folklore of Berkshire - from Windsor Castle and the Headless Ghost of Hampden Pye to the tale of the Vicar of Bray, the Blind Woodcutter of Bruelle, the origins of the Order of the Garter, and much more besides. Then it's time for the main event: Martin's telling of "Herne the Hunter."
