A dragon in the woods

Secret Herefordshire

Available for over a year

The tantalising tale of Mordiford's fire-breathing creature, a knight, a maiden fair, and a barrel of cider. Follow our reporter on the trail of the dragon who lived by the confluence of the Rivers Lugg and Wye, running alongside the 350-hectare Haugh Woods. The mile-and-a-half long path follows the story of this local legend, which features wooden sculptures made by local artists. Nicola Goodwin is joined by local tour guide Marjorie Shackleton to walk in the footsteps of a dragon.
