Legend Land, Vol. 3 Being a Further Collection of Some of the Old Tales Told in Those Western Parts of Britain Served by the Great Western Railway

A charming assortment of ancient Welsh and Cornish legends is gathered here, each tied to a spot along the old Great Western Railway route. Lyonesse retells these stories with a gentle, straightforward voice, inviting listeners to picture mist‑shrouded castles, tranquil lakes and low‑lying hills that have kept their myths alive for centuries.

Among the tales are the quirky “Prince Who Would Hang a Mouse,” where a grieving lord faces a mischievous horde of field mice; the serene “St. Melangell and Her ‘Lambs’,” a quiet sanctuary for gentle creatures; and a quiet corner where King Arthur is said to lie sleeping beneath the earth. Shorter episodes such as the “Fairy Gardens of Treen” and the “Spectre of Rosewarne” add a touch of mystery, while a Cornish “Three‑Man’s” song rounds out the collection.

Listening feels like a short journey across rural Britain, where every stone and stream carries a story. The narratives are simple yet vivid, perfect for anyone who enjoys a touch of folklore without scholarly distraction.
