Glyn Worsnip in the Forest of Dean
4 Extra Debut. Glyn Worsnip discovers more about the ancient customs of the Forest of Dean lying between the rivers Severn and Wye. From 1989.
It's broadcaster Glyn Worsnip's regret that he isn't a child of the Forest of Dean.
Born just outside its boundaries, he can never be a 'verderer' or a 'ship badger' but can only marvel at the rights and customs of this ancient and beautiful landscape twixt Severn and Wye.
