Summary
In this episode Neil takes us to a set of three tiny spellbinding islands, shimmering with crystal clear water and pristine white sand β his ultimate desert island. This is the place he escapes to in his imagination when he needs to get away from the pressures of the world.
In the C17th smugglers made one of the islands their secret hideaway. Another island was home to a self-styled king who swapped gifts with Queen Victoria β a basket woven from seaweed and filled with fresh fish and royal coat made of blue cloth. Itβs a place where is still possible to glimpse magic!
