The legend of Gurt Worm on the Quantock Hills

The legend of Gurt Worm is a story that has been told for decades, if not centuries.
Deep in Shervage Wood on the Quantock Hills lives a creature as wide as three great oaks with a fierce appetite. A serpent-like dragon that preys on anything that gets in its way.
Come for a walk in the woods with me as we retell the story of Gurt Worm.
*This story can be found in Somerset Folklore by Ruth Tongue. First published in 1965.

Great video. Surprised I hadn't heard of this story. The Quantocks is somewhere I haven't explored anywhere near as much as I should have by now.
