Simon Armitage goes on the trail of one of the jewels in the crown of British poetry - Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, written about 600 years ago by an unknown author. The poem is an action-packed adventure, a ghost story, a steamy romance, a morality tale and the world's first eco-poem. Armitage follows in Gawain's footsteps through some of Britain's most beautiful and mystical landscapes and reveals why the tale of a knight beheading a green giant is as relevant now as it was when first written.
