    I recall enjoying the Queens Head pub in Burley in my late teens and also driving along a dark country lane nearby where there was a spot witches met. Now l am living in sub tropical Brisbane, Australia and miss the forest and the seasons. Looking forward to visiting there again this October autumn. Thank you for reactivating those fond memories .

    The Knight was called Sir Bevois of Hamtun. There is a part of Southampton named after him, Bevois Valley. Thanks for another lovely video.

    Interesting video. I'm originally from Ringwood as well. I really miss the changing seasons in the many beautiful trees in the new forest.

    Lovely video. I first went to Burley in 1976 as part of our summer hols. My parents bought a witch on a broomstick (still has it). Roll forward to 2002 I went to the same shop to purchase a 2002 version of the same witch though not as nice! Have been several times since.

    Been binge watching your video's and heard you mention Sybil Leek. I heard of her because of her work with Hans Holzer. He was one of the early Paranormal Investigator/Ghost Hunter. I have many of his books.

    Love a witchy town or village and love those knarly twisted trees. You mentioned Ringwood...I feel sure there's a old brewery there if its the same place I'm thinking of. In my fantasy mind I'll always like to believe there was a dragon there. Great job Nic 👏🏻

    • @walkingthewyrd

      You're quite right, Ringwood brewery will probably be what you're thinking of. Sadly, they were put up for sale earlier this year.

    I used to stay there every Halloween week at the Burley Inn. Will be returning this year. It's a very relaxing place. I'm sure I'd heard of the Dragon a long time ago but didn't relate it to Burley.

    Another great walk. Lovely village. Cycled through many times.
    Would be good to walk round it though. Great to see local walks.
    I was going to mention Bolton’s Bench 😂
    Have you ever been to St Katherine’s Hill, Ramsdown enclosure or hengistbury head?
    Recommend all 3. Not sure about the folklore though.

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  6 місяців тому +1

      I've been to Hengistbury Head but not the other two. I'll definitely look into them. Thanks!

    beautiful village and surroundings.
    I had never heard of Sybil Leak, only from Rhiannon, written by Stevie Nicks in 1976. She was inspired for the song after reading the book "Triad" which is about a Welsh witch named Rhiannon.
    The very beautiful woman Stevie singing the praises of the other beautiful woman Rhiannon. 👍❤🎼🎵🎶

      Yes! Love Fleetwood Mac and that song. Burley is a fascinating little village with a really mystical feel to it.
