In this episode, Katy visits Chillon Castle in Switzerland, a place that inspired one of Lord Byron’s most important poems. Byron stayed at the Château de Chillon in 1816 and to mark the 200th anniversary of the visit, the castle held a special exhibition about the poet and his time there.

This podcast was first aired on World Radio Switzerland on the 25th of June 2016.

2024 marks the bicentenary of Lord Byron's death.
