- England travel vlogs start now with a trip to Stonehenge and Winchester with Rabbies! Stonehenge history is... ⬇ Click 'Show More' ⬇
Finally we get to travel more of England and explore some places we never thought we'd visit - Cornwall and Devon! Our main attraction of day 1 is visiting Stonehenge and tackling some of the history with a few tours around the museum, surrounding area and info from our guide.
Speaking of guides - we're taking a Rabbies trip to help get us to all of these places without needing to drive or tackle any forms of public transport. It's a dream just sitting back and watching England pass by, exploring Winchester and then touring around Stonehenge without really needing to plan anything at all!
It feels like this is the quickest and easiest way we'll get a taste for the United Kingdom as a whole (going to Ireland next) so we're stoked to share these experiences with you!
We settle up the night in Exeter in Jury Inn Hotel - see prices and reviews on here - geni.us/asaIIx

Whats fantastic to me is that your not just touring London, the rest of the UK has such amazing history. Good for you guys. You can't throw a stone in the UK without hitting history, Wales, Scotland, all amazing places.😊😊
So true Daniel. A lot of Kiwis and Aussies just go to London then get out of the UK, such a shame
Love your enthusiasm and enjoyment. We take these places and our amazing history for granted. Seeing it through your eyes makes it all fresh and new.
This is our favourite comment of the day, so nice to hear! Glad you can see it through our eyes and enjoy :)
We've been in London many times and only made it as far as Bath. We also heard you have to see the countryside of England. This video just confirms it guys. Love it.. we need to go back clearly! 👌 - Trevor
Can confirm, the countryside and the coast were absolutely epic! Pretty weather dependent as you guys would know though haha
I live about 40 minutes from Stonehenge...if you want countryside go about 30 mins south to the New Forest - one of my favourite places in UK! Lots of wild horses and pokey pubs :)
Loads more to see guys👍
KB Winchester cathedral was made on wooden foundations that at the beginning of the 1900s was replaced using divers. Crazy crazy story there are documentaries about it available. The man who dove and replaced them is a hero.
Bloopers at the end again!

Agh, love England! Interesting to see how Stonehenge has changed. We went there a few years ago- no museum, no shuttle bus. Walk straight up/through/around the stones. Incredible experience. Thanks for sharing!
Wow sounds like you got the full experience! A lot more protected and sheltered from the public now
I have always seen pictures but never get a chance to go! I keep it on my list! Thanks for the video guys
This is for me your best video because of the Stonehenge. Such mystery stirs up so much thoughts about who we really are.
Agreed!! So much mystery and uncertainty.
Ohh lovely story time! Thank you both, I enjoyed watching today. Your right what a calming voice dean has as a tour guide and the Mercedes mini bus is such a fantastic idea to travel to all the scenic spots around London. Thank you for your wonderful presentation.
Dean has that sort of voice you want from a podcast or meditation app to help you drift off to sleep :) thanks for your kind comments Kerrie, glad you enjoyed
Awesome video! Just recently did an Inner Access tour of Stonehenge ourselves during sunrise after a fresh snow fall and did a vlog about it. What an experience! Will have to check out your channel for more England travel ideas. :)
I hope to see Stonehenge one day. Have a nice trip. Love from Croatia 🇭🇷❤✌
It's an amazing place to visit! Hope you can get there one day :)
Hello everyone, your videos help me start the week with a smile. Thanks,,
Happy to hear that, see you tomorrow for another one!
You guys should do more of story time loved every minute of this. That tour is already looking amazing.
It was quite cool being on the hunt for as many stories as we could find! Glad you enjoyed them
My dream destination..
We only passed Stonehenge, we never had a chance to stop and visit it. I should go back and make a stop there
Yay England! I lived in London for a few years, but never made it out to stonehenge, as I always thought it was too touristy... but seeing your tour, makes it look like an enjoyable experience.
Apparently its based on time of the year, this was early/mid October which is quieter - we've heard it gets reaaaaallly busy earlier in the year!
You got me again with Stonehenge.
Looking good.☕️☕️☕️
I grew up near Stonehenge, in the days before any restoration was undertaken. Used to skin our bottoms sliding down the stones!
That’s brilliant!!
@@DanegerAndStacey We use to go to the pop festival there around the solstice from school in Warminster, full of hippies ! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge_Free_Festival
Dean sounds like David Beckham. I did a lot of Contiki tours over 30 years ago and i know that most people think they are just a bunch of young people getting drunk but you get so much history and information from your tour guide, and this is what sparked my interest in history.
Thats interesting feedback! Stace has done a Contiki and it was exactly the drunken type you'd expect. But probably similar to Sail Croatia where we found a completely different approach and had the best experience, theres always other options!
Stonehenge is amazing!!! gasping all the way from VN.
We were in awe the whole time!
I've lived in Salisbury for a bit, not too far from Stonehenge, and visited both that and Winchester a few times. Really like your vid and they way you present everything! Definitely gonna check more of your vids
Stoked to hear you enjoyed, thanks for checking out some others as well! Appreciate your comment
Hi from Winchester 🖐🏻
We just went with Rabbies Tour on a 2-day trip in the middle of England. We really enjoyed our trip too
Glad you guys go to experience the trips with Rabbies - such a chilled and relaxing way to explore!
Welcome to England 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wooo - thanks!!
🏴🏴use the correct flag for England specifically
A bit of info for you is , that a few miles across the fields from Stonehenge is Woodhenge. A small circle of wooden stumps. Not quite sure how old it is.
Interesting!
You snuck on in on me again!!! I really have to talk to that notification squad about leaving me out.... Oh ... Good Morninggggggg! Happy Monday!
Haha no sneaking here at all, same time Monday, Wednesday and Fri! You gotta have a word to the notif squad to get in there.
Yep, not long back you could use park up and walk to the stones and sit on them. I guess they don't want people doing that anymore incase they get worn out. There's plenty of stuff in lots more places in England.
That's pretty crazy how much its changed then!
The cathedral square in Winchester is spectacular.
That was a cool review of Stonehenge - thanks!
No worries, thanks for commenting!
If you male it to Ireland check out Newgrange burial tomb: older than the Pyramids in Egypt.
Our next vlogs are from Ireland, first one today, sadly didnt make it to Newgrange though
another great one gang thanks so much .
Awesome - thanks!
Winchester was by far the prettiest city we vistied in 2017. Also great song called Cathedral by Crosby Stills and Nash. I went in and found a grave of someone who died on my birthday. Bucket list from when I was 17. (gotta listen to the song to understand.) Oh and then we went to stonehenge also, as per the song. ;)
Some places we visit just have a feeling about them, we definitely got that when we went to Winchester... glad you did too!
Oh shiiit! I lived in Winchester for four years and only just clocked you're walking down the river Itchen!!! I graduated in the Cathedral it's lush! :)
Oh really? Thats awesome. Such a nice little town there, really enjoyed strolling the streets and the river
You should visit Bath. Beautiful place.
Love this ! You have to do Scotland , recommend going to the Orkney Islands 👍🏻
We're hoping to do a Rabbies tour with Scotland next year! Sounds amazing
@@DanegerAndStacey There are stone circles all around the north of Scotland and perhaps two of the most important are in Orkney. At Brodgar in the main island there are two sets of stones quite close to each other. The Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar. Between them lies a new excavation at the Ness of Brodgar, a narrow finger of land that lies between two lochs. The Ness of Brodgar has had excavations going for several summers now and they have found a religious site there going back at least to the date of Stonehenge and probably earlier as there are still buildings under the ones already found. It seems possible that there was a religion that began up in Orkney (which was warmer and more populous than it is now) and spread southwards. The excavations are almost certainly linked to the stone circles. It seems that they are possibly even older than Stonehenge by a 1000 to 2000 years.
Beside Ness and the circles is also a burial mound, Maeshowe. This has an inner chamber like the pyramids but was broken into and robbed by Viking times. There is lots of graffiti in Norse runes carved into the walls of the inner chamber including one which is the ancient version of "Kilroy was here". Orkney was the centre of a Viking Earldom for a long time. Still in the early 19th century there were people in isolated places who could speak old norse I'm told. I'm also told that my first name has echoes of Norse roots.
Another Great video guys I did hear that they are older stones like Stonehenge in Scotland!
I can't accept that the stones were moved from their source on rollers. They came from hundreds of miles away in Wales. Great videos by the way. Bluestone is the term used to refer to the smaller stones at Stonehenge. These are of varied geology but all came from the Preseli Hills in south-west Wales. Although they may not appear blue, they do have a bluish tinge when freshly broken or when wet. They weigh between 2 and 5 tons each.
The large Sarsens came from the local area, not Wales. Quite feasible for them to be moved on rollers.
The smaller blue stones from the Preseli hills were probably transported by boat.
A ten day Arctic blast of intensely cold weather is forecast for the British Isles this week. I wonder how accurate these forecasts are ?
Did you know , there are 27 big stones in circular line in Stonehenge , which represents 27 star constellations ( called nakshatra ) in the northern hemisphere.
Long story sorry: When I was 17 they killed John Lennon. It destroyed me. I some how put on my no nukes album which has a song by csn called Cathedral and cried for hours. . I in my 20s figured out this was a real cathedral. I then put on a bucket list even though I did not know that term at the time to go to winchester and relive that song. I did. In the lyrics there is a line: "and the day he died it was a birthday and I noticed it was mine". I walked that cathedral until i indeed found a grave with my birthdate. Another line: "in the car and on my way to stonehenge". We did get in the car and go to stonehenge. It took me 33 years to make that happen but I did. I have pictures of me standing outside by the war memorial crying my eyes out listening to the song. Winchester was my favorite city in England.
Isaw that also Mark Wolters is at Stohedge same time you guys are WOW ..nice video guys...Are you allowed to go near the Stones or not I saw a rope area
They rope them off quite a bit so you can't really get very close at all sadly! Theres 2 times a year when you can get up and touch them and its a massive event!
I live 15 minutes from Stonehenge, because I see it regularly it doesn't do much for me. I live in a town called Andover, which you would have gone right past to get to Stonehenge.
That was amazing! Thanks
Thanks! We loved this day of exploring
Loved it, must subscribe 🇬🇧👊🏼
Cheers, Rob!
I took the family to Arbor Low stone circle in Derbyshire on boxing day or maybe the day after, we needed some fresh air and exercise , it was cold and had been snowing. We were the only people there, and you can wander between the stones. It was tremendously atmospheric, I'm not normally affected by this stuff but it really felt strange! Then after 15 mins or so my son who was 4-5 years old or less said he felt scared/weird/strange and could we go back to the car. We popped into a local pub for lunch and a pint and the standard amount of food for a Derbyshire "snack" almost killed us ! Really nice day out but the feeling around the stone circle was strange, as I said I generally think this stuff is rubbish but that day made me think again! I guess you will never sense that if you're in a crowd of noisy tourists with cameras etc.
Must be a wonderful trip!
Quite interesting. I might take a Rabbies tour in Scotland
We highly recommend it, such a relaxed and enjoyable way to travel. We've also got a tour in Northern Ireland with them coming soon.
My mate Graeme that lives in Stockton,says it was originally set up by Druids and their followers,he's a teacher,so he knows things,not sure how much to read into that,like me,he does like beer and a tall tale. :-)
Hello, WOWOWO Good vidoe i watched in my life . Thank you
Incredible to think that Stonehenge was already 2000 years old when they were building the pyramids.
That old Nokia sound 4:00, btw nice captures from 2:00 , well done :))
We noticed that in the edit as well, classic 3310 no doubt 📱
Will you visit Faroe islands? I am kinda obsessed with them now, after Iceland they are my number 2 place to visit. No tourists at all!
Sadly neither of those on the plans any time soon! No tourists sounds amazing though
:'(
Stonehenge is an energy portal.
What are the odds Wolters World and Danegar and Stacey both at Stonehenge at same time. You guys should meet up
yeah I noticed that
Guessing its probably the same for him, we're a bit behind with the uploads to allow us time to travel :)
I'm so glad that you are enjoying the English countryside. For a small island we have a wide variety of landscapes and scenery packed in. The West Country (where you are visiting) is absolutely amazing. I'm really enjoying taking this trip alongside you guys. Interesting how you describe Dean the guide having a conversational style. I think that is exactly what you achieve in your vlogs. It makes them absorbing and relaxing. Fastest 13 minutes and 4 seconds of my day today!!
If what Dean is to us, is what we are to you, then we're happy Rex! The conversational details is the perfect way for us to consume information and details so probably just natural that we've got a similar style ourselves - very, very cool to hear!
After Exeter keep going down to Cornwall padstow, falmouth, st ives best of England for shaw.
Falmouth and St Ives are on the agenda :)
@@DanegerAndStacey You will love it. Proper fish and chips
when we were children there was no visitors center and we could just run up to the stones and give them a hug. Shame all that has been taken away from us. Enjoyed your video though.
That would've been amazing! Definitely a bit of a shame but on a positive note, at least they will be preserved for generations to come!
Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge! Where a man's a man
And the children dance to the Pipes of Pan
lay off the weed

Hey you guys! do you think you can tell me what camera you used here?
Hey man - GH5. All our gear is here, danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Daneger and Stacey thanks man
Today is February 13th 2021. This week, it was claimed that, 'STONEHENGE', was originally , created in South Wales. NOT, just the 'BLUE STONES' but ALL of it. And brought to wiltshire ??
Did anyone else serach stonehench vlog and find this as top result?
Cool to hear! Hope it was enjoyable & informative 🤙🏼
Do you post your music list you use in your videos?
I always Shazam the songs lol
Not as frequently these days sorry, we've been sourcing from a new supplier and its not really a requirement now but we really should!
But... Stonehenge is in Wiltshire, not Devon and Cornwall. Sorry, just sour as it's my home county ;) Have a great time guys!!
We realise that :) The tour we're doing is the Devon and Cornwall tour, Stonehenge just happens to be on the way so is a great stop heading in that direction.
How many 5' 3" English blokes did it take to move a 10,000 lb rock?
Eric Everson they were moved by immigrants from Eastern Europe
Not English but Welsh England is only 1500 years old

4:46-5:18. Nothing unusual about that. Throughout the centuries quite a number of regents have been appointed when a either a king or a queen was unable to carry-out the duties of the monarch, for one reason or another. Prime example being George, Prince of Wales (later King George IV), who was Prince Regent from 1811 until 1820, appointed to act as such during the final madness of his father, King George III. Other examples of regents or guardians being appointed were during the minority of a monarch. For example, when Henry III (born at Winchester Castle in 1207) became King of England in 1216 he was just nine years of age and so the kingdom was entrusted to the guardianship of William Marshal until the king reached his majority, in 1226. Mary Stuart (grand-niece of Henry VIII, King of England) was just six days of age when she became Queen of Scotland on the 14th December 1542 and so two regents were appointed to act as such, on seperate occasions, during Mary's minority.

Stonehenge This was built by the Welsh/British
Not gonna leave the Welsh out, are you! :)
I could lift that stone over my head...only if it came with proper set of built in handles...
Avebury is a much better stone circle to visit than stonehenge. Less crowded and less over organised
Always imagined Stonehenge to be bigger . It was a bit of a disappointment seeing it in real life. Obviously didnt move the stones on rollers. They would have done it in winter when they weren't looking after crops. They would have made an ice road and pulled the stones on a sledge.
Moving stones heavier than a large vehicle laden with passengers and baggage, using Stone Age technology, without metalled roads.... and it's not big enough?
As for sleds; the climate of late Neolithic /early Bronze Age Britain was probably warmer than now. The weather window needed to move a 5 ton stone on a sled, relying on a frozen landscape, would limit you to a few days a year. Maybe possible on wet chalk, if you've ever tried running across it!
@@adventussaxonum448 It was a period of comparative warming and variability but would still be cooler than it is today. You only have to go back a few years to remember bad winters in living memory., Not sure if 5 ton is a big problem when you consider how easy HGVs skid around roads in winter. You dont need a metalled road if the ground is frozen enough
I have heard Stonehenge is underwhelming and doesn't live up to the hype.
It's pretty special to see still, but you are quite far away from it
Second😅
🥈 Yasss!
First
🏆 and another one!
Stonehenge is very expensive to go and see at £19.50 ....now in 2020 it is £21.10...what a rip off....
I’m English and stonehenge is a pile of shite,not magical not powerful not mystical and not interesting.beware there are no dancing fairies or elves.but maybe you might see druids pretending to be earth children
Hahaha spotted this comment when it first came through, you edited the ending a little huh 😂
Seem two nice people but far too much talking to camera. Over 2 minutes at start eg.
Stonehenge is fake
In what way?
there are videos and photos of them building it like 100 yrs ago, look it up
@@Picinacici Are you deluded or charmingly naive?
@@johnwalsh3635 don't get me wrong, people have built great stuff (pyramids, temples etc) but stonehenge is just a small pile of stones ;
@@Picinacici You need to do some reading.
