About this audio guide
This guide to Shotover Country Park in Oxford follows a legend born in the old royal Forest of Shotover, where a Queen's College student out walking with his Aristotle met a herd of wild swine. It moves from the hillside to the college dining hall, through bay, rosemary, a carol printed in the sixteenth century and a Christmas dish that has outlived the forest itself. Best heard among the bracken on the slope, where deer still move under the old trees.
