'Uniquely well-informed, all-encompassing and loving.' — Pam Ayres, poet
'Amazing revelations about my home county.' — Adam Henson, Countryfile presenter
Did you know that Sir Peter Scott was named after Peter Pan; a Stroud man invented instant custard; and a Cotswold manor house is designed to look exactly like the Palace of Westminster?
Gloucestershire has been at the forefront of world-changing innovation throughout history, has inspired great works of literature and even has its own rhyming slang.
Join broadcaster Mark Cummings on a joyful journey exploring the Gloucestershire streets that gave us Scrooge and Long John Silver, find out where classic TV and movie scenes were filmed and feast on delicious nuggets about royalty, rock stars and rugby legends.
Walk with Mark to London in the footsteps of Dick Whittington, discover the true meaning behind Gloucestershire's quirky place names, take advantage of unique tips leading you to hidden gems across the county and test what you've learned with Mark's 100 quiz questions, a challenge for locals and visitors alike.
