Bizarre stories from a peculiar place. On the edge of the West Cliff in Bournemouth UK, balanced between sea and land and sky, the twisting paths and dark pine trees inspire strange stories of the strange folk who have inhabited that weird place. A new story every week from the pen of master story-teller Peter John Cooper. Funny, sad, murders, spirits and the down right ordinary. Commuting to work, drifting off to sleep, making breakfast, there’s a story for you here. Tales from the Cliff Edge has been selected as one of the top 15 UK story telling sites by Feedspot: https://blog.feedspot.com/uk_storytelling_podcasts/ I live on the cliff top. I’m looking out across Poole Bay to the English Channel and the world beyond. This is a mysterious in-between sort of place, not only the meeting of sea and land and the sky but also a shifting, joyful, melancholy realm where nothing is permanent and reality and fantasy collide. I’m Peter John Cooper and I’ve made my living for the past fifty years telling stories. In this podcast I’m going to share some of them with you. They’re not all about this clifftop place, of course, but they all come from that strange in between world of the imagination. Let’s go inside, make a cup of tea and I’ll tell you today’s tale.

When Clarice falls ill and dies her husband, John, is left with the task of running the hotel according to a strict set of rules written downin a big book by Clarice's Grandmother, also called Clarice. And although the hotel has the finest view in Bournemouth, across the West Cliff and out across the bay, the building itself is in a terrible state and not suitable for 21st century guests who expect boutique hotels. But John has plans. And as soon as the undertaker has left he sets to work with the support of the local community. #Bournemouth #WestCliff
