The Chimera of Fishbourne is one of the most famous sightings of this mythical creature. It is said to have been spotted on the Isle of Wight in the mid-1800s, with locals reporting that the creature had a lion's body, a goat's head, and a snake's tail. Reports even suggest that it could shoot balls of fire from its mouth.

While there is no concrete evidence of the Chimera of Fishbourne, it remains one of the most famous and talked about mythical creatures of all time, since about lunchtime anyway, when Mildred mentioned she sensed a stirring!

It's a reminder of the power of the imagination and the potential for fantastic creatures to be uncovered in your travels today.
