A yew tree in the Lake District is regaling visitors with an unusual sound... the voice of Brian Blessed.

The Woodland Trust persuaded the iconic actor to lend them his voice, as part of a project to educate people looking around Great Knott Wood.

Brian Blessed OBE is an actor famous for his work on stage, on TV and in films... and is perhaps best known for his unmistakable voice, which is now shared with one yew tree in the Lake District.
