- Welcome to Ashridge: Wessex’s Hidden Gem
Nestled just off the historic Ridgeway in Wessex, Ashridge is a charming village that effortlessly blends picturesque beauty with a hint of mystery. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient woods, this large village is dotted with Bronze Age burial mounds, whispering tales of the past. Rumours of secret, abandoned bunkers and a rich rural folklore add an intriguing layer of enigma to this idyllic setting.
Ashridge's allure doesn't end with its history. Recently, it has become a hotspot for UFO sightings, with strange lights often seen dancing over the woods at night and crop circles appearing mysteriously in fields of summer wheat. The Magdalen Centre, a renowned New Age hub, attracts visitors seeking spiritual enrichment and alternative therapies.
The village itself is a vision of quintessential English charm, with the River Swallow meandering through its heart, swans gliding gracefully under grey stone bridges. The community spirit thrives around the cricket ground, the miniature steam railway, and the village hall, where locals and visitors alike gather for events and festivities.
Ashridge boasts three welcoming pubs: The Apple Tree, The Angel, and The Seymour Arms, each offering a cozy atmosphere and a taste of local hospitality. For families, the Memorial Garden provides a delightful play area on the far side of the River Swallow. Adding to the village’s unique charm, the Swallow and Avon Canal emerges from a tunnel to the west, perfect for leisurely strolls along its scenic banks.
A must-visit is the historic Market Place, home to the 12th-century Market Cross, a symbol of Ashridge’s rich heritage. Just off the Market Place lies Castle Park, where the ruins of a Norman castle stand as a testament to the village’s medieval past, offering a fascinating glimpse into history.
Despite its serene countryside setting, Ashridge is easily accessible, with the bustling A471 running just to the north. This hidden gem promises a captivating visit, where the ordinary meets the extraordinary in the most delightful way.

Go Walker! GO! I Love all your work! ❤ We (the Red Foxes and Coyotes, Timber Rattlers and Ravens) hear you, all the way out in the spooky woods in Tijeras, New Mexico. Folks! Buy Tony’s books, his chilling stories are worth seeking out!
Hey Tijeras, I was born and raised in Santa Fe.
Sounds like a wonderful place!
👍🇦🇺
ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE THAT TONT WALKER IS 1 HELL OF A GUY. I HAD TO PUT HIM ON MY BUCKET LIST TO MEET HIM. THE NEXT TIME HE COMES THREW CONNECTICUT 🇺🇸 USA
Another Tony Walker original! A gift! I like how it is presented as a radio drama...similar to the BBC radio dramas to which I listen on occasion. Very enjoyable. The voice actors are a good choice for the dramatization. Thank you, all!
Love those Lovecraft Chronicles. ("Investigations" rather) I think "chronicles" was an unmemorable Netflix series not the BBC radio4 production.
Tony and Jasper have ruined all other narrators for me - both are simply amazing artists. To get both of you in one performance is a dream come true! Cannot wait for the next installment ❤
Tony AND Jasper !!Heaven !
At 12:11, I enjoyed the sly reference to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" when the teacher commented on the "dark sarcasm in the classroom."
indeed !
Me too!
@@ClassicGhostYeah, noticed that too. I LOVE this. Always love your work, but having Jasper and others and some great ominous themed music and sfx and sweetened audio- applause! Interested to know who else your stars are. This is a real treat for the weekend, I feel like geeky kid about to watch a marathon of B movies only it’s OG A-List Classic Golden Era [yet modern] RADIO - woohoooo!
Gotta boogie, I’m diggin' in.
@@ClassicGhostBTW, I think Jasper's character... well, I don’t want to be right and it be a spoiler... cheers
Your so clever Tony!
Written by you, casting, sound, production - all you!.
Be very proud ❤.
It's feckin amazing 🎉
Love the sound. There was a comment on Patreon saying this episode had "a really nice sense of radio drama nostalgia", which perfectly described it.
i had some help from
my friends!
What an excellent collaboration! A great big thanks to all those that lent their voices and hard work and also to Tony Walker for hosting the party. Seeing as how this is just episode #1, I’m excited for much more stories and collaborations in the future. It was just like an old time radio production. Loved it!!! If you’re unacquainted with Jasper L’Estrange, I highly recommend giving him a listen on Encrypted. Are the other voice actors also creators? ……anyways thanks a bunch. Really made my weekend!❤️🐙
Thank you for the awesome stories ❤😊 have a wonderful weekend 😀
Yay!!!! I’m so excited! Perfect timing, as I’m so sick at the moment and stuck in bed. The actors are just AMAZING! You’ve done such a great job casting them.
Oh, my goodness, Tony! I’m only just past the bit where he chats to the man in the pub and it’s so, so compelling and intriguing and creepy. I can already tell I’m going to be just dying for the next installment. You’ve outdone yourself. ❤
Thank you thank you
Brilliant ……two of my very favourite artistes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice work!. I cant wait for the next part! Good to hear Jasper as well! Ill have to look up the other's as i am on thr look out for more well narrated stories. ^_^.
I just finished this story & honestly I might listen to it again, right away! Very much looking forward to more! 🌸
This is excellent, a lot of hardcore hauntology . Well done Tony and all else involved.
That’s what we were aiming for !
Amazing!!! Thank you!
Nooooo…you can’t leave it there! I’m looking forward to the next episode soonest, pretty please! 🙂♥️
Been looking forward to this, really enjoyed it.
Great! I’m hoping it goes down well
Wow! I didn’t think I’d like this but I loved it. More please.
Glad you did
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
another great work. Looking forward to future installments.
More to come!
Awesome! It reminded me of the reported strangeness around the abandoned bunker at Kelly Butte in Portland, Oregon.....
I need to look that up
Excellent collaboration!! Thoroughly enjoyed!!
This was so good. There are a lot of those abandoned underground areas all over the country. What an excellent setting for a story. Looking forward to the rest.
So wonderful to have another series by Walker & Co (and Jasper!). Very grateful and looking forward to ours of atmospheric enjoyment🙏😱☠

cracking work folks, incl the soundtrack from THI of course :)
I loved this one! Genuinely creepy- very nice work Tony!❤
I have the third episode in production at the moment, but because they need actors and music and sound effects, they take a lot longer to do than the normal stories
@@ClassicGhost It will be well worth the wait- thank you so much for all you do! 🖤💕
Well that was enjoyable! Great vocal work by all and excellent sound recording.
Great! Another one on the way soon
Creepy! Especially since I've just been reading Peter Laws' Matt Hunter books!
Oh cannot wait for next episode. Thank you guys xx❤👻
Jasper???.... 😮 didn't expect that awsome collaborative effort guys
It is he.
I just started playing this while planting German thyme without reading anything about it.
All narrators were fantastic!
Fantastic job, as always! This is an awesome story!

Omg.. this was amazing .. can’t wait for the next episode x
Brilliant, thank you.
Tony and jasper doing a collaboration PERFECT❤❤❤ keep up the great work lads
Mr Tony and Mr Jasper nailed this one. Really enjoyed it!
Echoes of Homo Leporidae, and a dark warren of abandoned tunnels.
Brilliant premis!
Great work Mr Microphone!
I'm hoping that this will go on for quite a few episodes to come.
I was enthralled.
Funny how thing coincide; I was watching traditional mummers on the box only yesterday.
I can't help imagining the scary Jack Rabbit man from the movie Sexy Beast. Truly scary!
Had to have a giggle at Jasper channeling Ricky Gervais though.
Thanks to you especially and all of the cast.
🐰🐰🐰
Nicely done, Sirs! (and Lady) Can't wait for the next one :)
That was outstanding!!!😮
Remind me steer clear of Ashridge
Good Lord, Tony!! What were you THINKING?? You scared h*ll out of me!!
(I loved every moment...great job to all the players!)
There is something wrong with me I think sometimes to do this
Nice, looking forward to listening to this tonight 🙏 💛
Really great drama story.Well done.
All I could could think of was Eric Idle saying "Bleedin Watneys Red Barrel" 😂
Haha! Love it 😂
Wonderfully compelling story!! So well-performed as well. This is my second time listening to it in 24 hours! 👏👏👏
I need to hurry up

If you need any actresses, give me a thumbs up and I'll send you a couple of samples. I'm not a pro, but I've done a bit of amateur dramatics, and won't be upset if I'm not suitable 👍
I am very much looking for actresses who can sound like they’re from the south (preferably south west) of england please get in touch classicghostpodcast@gmail.com
I'm from East Sussex, but could send you a couple of samples of my voice, one south west accent.
I'll get them to you by the end of the week if that's ok - have a few things I need to sort out first.
As I say, I'm not professional but would love to get involved 👍
Super scary story Tony- been thinking about it for a couple days since my first listen. Looking forward to listening again tonight 😁
I’m very pleased to hear it. i am just casting episode 2
You are an awesome writer Tony!! I absolutely love your channel, and thanks again for taking up the man whom the trees loved and the watcher by the threshold! I greatly appreciate when someone looks into stories I suggest ☺️ really makes my day to share good yarns amongst other enthusiests.
Thanks!
“City of Light” anytime soon??? Porfavor 🙏
Hrrifying congratulations
Very Nice Mr Tony
Thanks for listening
THANKS FOR THE GREAT STORY.
Thanks for listening. Spread the word!
Brilliant ❤
Thanks. more to come
awesome stories! will there be episodes 3 and 4?
Perfectly Brilliant ❤
Why does this remind me of Birthday Massacre?
Bloody good show by the way
Love it :) Thank you
So glad!
AI I is bad for all art and if the visual artists are replaced so too will all authors and musicians.
We use AI at our peril.
progress is no different whined at than withstood
@@awnaur0no919 Mr Larkin is that you?
Ooh, Mister Tony! The first REAL day of summer vacation; school is out, and The Screw Turns...Thanks so much!
Freaky good!
Great to see your original content.
That piano music at 2:30 is obscuring the legibility of the words, though. Would be great to hear your writing!
I’m just announcing the title. i ducked the music but i can do it more next time
Excellent Tony 👏 I listened to all three in wee hours of the morning. Thank you 👍
I am nearly finished with episode 4
This was awesome! Just had my second listen. Will Episode 2 be coming soon?
i’m
finishing the rough mix
today then to Jasfer for FX then we will add the music . a wewk
maybe ?
I was genuinely spooked out. The way the tunnels and their explorations are described ... fantastic.
I listened to the first episode now spurred by your enquiry. Truthfully, the reason I didn't listen to this before is that I like it when you narrate.
This was super creepy and, the ending especially good because it was more subtle. You didn't overexplain to the listeners. Very well done and will listen to the rest 😊 Although, I still prefer when you narrate and would have wished for you to have narrated one of the main characters. The actors are very good, its really not that.
Tony I've been listening to your narration for a long while now, and always enjoyed your thoughts and commentary, and I'm simply thrilled to find work of your own.
It's also interesting seeing things you've spoken of in passing before come back up in your own work, not only in the genre sense of you enjoying ghostly horror but also in some of the topics and themes
WOW that's an awesome story 😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful story so far! I'm all in!
Thanks!
thank you! Next one out soon
Honest opinion here, I only listened to a few minutes. I'm sensitive to certain voices, usually women, who have sibilance on words ending in S. I didn't listen. I prefer when you read 😊
Thank you for your honest opinion.
I actually can relate to this, some people really go mental with the letter S, but the rest is amazing, not worth discarding over 2 minutes
I'll try again xoxo @@LucicPower
Miss. Mouse you have missed a gem! If you can put that upset to the side, it is only a brief bit of a TRULY FANTASTIC WHOLE! It would be a shame for you to miss out as there will be more. From one listener to another, I encourage you to give it another go. Cheers!
I have misophonia and the sibilance thing is real and my worst trigger. I have to change the tv channel as soon as i hear it, or physically remove myself from situations.
For this story I skipped the female voice at the start - you won't miss too much except that she assumes he's buying 2 drinks for HIMSELF... then you're okay for the rest of the story. It's nice to come across someone else 'in the wild' with the same trigger as me! Sending you love from Wales ❤🥰
