Hello from Wales! This is a nice, relaxed pace video, thank you. The old stone walls are reminiscent of the old walls which are often found in Snowdonia. It takes skill and experience to set each stone properly.
Greetings! I love history. Took a "History of England" (which covered a bit more than only England) back in college and loved it! It was so interesting to see how much and how many aspects of life in this country came from across the pond. Are the old wall you mentioned the ones built by the POWs from Napoleon's army captured a couple of centuries ago? Yes, it is a testament to the skill and the labor involved in their construction! Its one of the things I enjoy seeing on the different hikes I post. Very happy you enjoyed it. Thanks!
@@sylvanreflections Hi, the walls and ruined stone cottages in Snowdonia were mostly built over several centuries by local Welsh hill farmers to manage sheep. However, there is evidence of human habitation using stone construction methods in this part of North Wales long before that...
That is the kind of thing I enjoy going to see! love seeing history, physically right in front of me like that. Looking at those kinds of ruins, like the stone walls here (including the cabins & chimneys that still stand) . . . it really makes me think when I try to imagine daily life there and what it was like. Perhaps not most eloquent of phrasing on my part, but, it IS some really "cool stuff"!

Most of those rock stacks could be old property markers.
That was bugging me -- I was having trouble seeing it as a wall or a chimney or the like. A property marker would make sense. Thanks!
