Rural Thursday: Wizard's woodland walk


The magic of a woodland walk on a sunny early autumn day at Alderley Edge. The woods here have a certain mystique about them, as well as the more famous sandstone rocks which have inspired many a story. Josie Whitehead's poem is among these:

"...Now at Alderley Edge stands a very large stone
And here, by this rock, stood the wizard, alone.
When the farmer returned, he called loudly and said:
Stop here one moment. Please don’t ride ahead..."

You can watch an animated version of the full Wizard of Alderley Edge poem by Josie.
