Mysteries & Megaliths: Exploring Europe's Largest Megalithic Landscape - Avebury - Part 1!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- This hike starts at the incredible, and prehistoric, West Kennet Avenue, an avenue of processional stones leading to the World's biggest megalithic stone circle, Avebury Henge.
After soaking in the Stones and village, we set off towards the mysterious Silbury Hill, Europe's largest artificial hill.
We then head to Britain's biggest and most impressive Neolithic chambered tomb, West Kennet Long Barrow, and explore inside.....SPOOKY!
This is Part 1 of 2, in Part 2 we will keep hiking through this historical landscape to reach Wiltshire's highest points, Milk and Tan Hill, see the Alton Barnes White Horse and walk along some of the awesome Wansdyke, ancient defensive earthworks....so look forward to that!
So please come join us, it'll be fun ❤
Keep safe and keep enjoying those green spaces!
Thank you for being here, all the best, Ceri & Kat!

'Mysteries and Megaliths'.....has there ever been a more compelling title for a YT video? I don't think so! I have been to Avebury and really enjoyed it, much more than Stonehenge. I am also reminded of a truly terrifying children's programme called 'Children of the Stones', when I was a little lad. Hope you are both well.

Hello Chris, thanks so much for joining us on this one ❤ it was a smashing day out and a super interesting place to see and visit. We will check out the link and have pinned your comment for others to see too. We are great, been enjoying a weekend in the garden. Hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🌅
Awesome day💕 so much to see, just a fantastic atmosphere 👊
Big thumbs up from us, no competition in my eyes in the Hendge off! ❤👍
Woohoo, what a wonderful video with an abundance of interesting information and beautiful scenery.
Those rocks were SO suspicious! Another excellent video and thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm with us 👌👏👏🤩
Gday Bernie, we know right....super suspicions 🧐🤗 so much to pack onto this one, the cutting room floor way laden in outtakes! Pleased you enjoyed and thanks for your kind words and support, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat 🌞❤☕
Another good watch, always enjoy a adventure with you two crazy cats ☝️ keep up the good work,stay safe
Hey guys ❤🐶 how do?tha is so much for joining us again, we really appreciate the support and kind words. We hope you are good and well, good weather for riders at the moment! Catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤🌞🤗
Hi guys. Thanks for giving us great insight into the stones and area. We visited Stonehenge a couple of years ago and it was very interesting. There's also the 9 Ladies stone circle in Derbyshire and there's a myth about 9 ladies dancing and were turned to stone. We will be visiting there soon.
Hey Lou, Lol, just seen your FB post too, thank you for your support as always, appreciated ❤ we have not heard of the 9 ladies, love a goood fable! That sounds interesting. Hope you 3 are well, talk soon, Ceri and Kat 🐶❤☕
Wow! Its incredible to be able to get up close and personal with the stones like that, looking forward to part 2 as I never did get up Milk or Tan hills when I lived in the area, very interested to see the White Horse too! love and hugs guys, talk soon ❤
You will have to stay tuned for part 2, which will include both hills bro! And everyone loves a white horse right! Hope you have had a good weekend and not been working to hard, love and hugs, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🌅👍
It is like we in sync with our vlogs at the moment long barrow and hill forts, it is brilliant to compare how the long barrow differs what we have both visited. Love that the stone circle is being protected by the sheep haha. Really enjoyable vlog and hope you are both okay.
Hello mark, Milena, we know right, we watched yours and chuckled thinking what we had just recorded lol ❤ the building and history is amazing, the garden sheep are doing a great job. Pleased you enjoyed the vlog, thanks for the support, appreciated, Ceri and Kat ☕🌞🤗
What a landscape, you packed the features into this video. I particularly enjoyed the long barrow, utterly mesmerising, I am very much looking forward to your part 2. Hope you are both well, Winnie
We have been working on part2 inbetween gardening this weekend, thanks Winnie. Yes there was so much to show and tell on this walks, the Long Barrrow was fantastic and fascinating. Well worth a visit if you get a chance. Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🤗
Really cool start to your movie when you walked and recorded next to each other! Love the enthusiasm you have when showing us the wonders of the old. This is much more impressive than Stonehenge, but I have never heard about the place before. So it is cool watching you explore the place:)
Good afternoon, thanks so much for your kind words and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate the support ❤
It is amusing how Stonehenge gets all the limelight, yet Avebury makes for a much better and cheaper day out. It's a fascinating place. Pleased you enjoyed the intro, we lole to have fun as we walk too. Hope you are good and well, Ceri and Kat 🌅☕❤👍
My favorite part of visiting Europe is the thousands of years of history everywhere. In America, a few areas go back to the 1600s (not including the natives of course). Thanks for this!
Good afternoon sir, thanks so much for your kind words and support, appreciate you joining us on this one ❤ it is amazing following on inthe footsteps, and imagining times past. Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🌅

What an interesting place! The ditch around the stone circles is almost a more impressive achievement than the actual stones. Long barrow was very cool also👍 Great video as usual Ceri & Kat! All the best👍
Evening Des, yes the hand Doug ditch was something special, the whole area is fascinating. We both enjoyed exploring the long barrow too, so much history. Thanks for your kind words and support, means alot ❤☕ hope you are well, Ceri and Kat 🤗🌞
Absolutely stunning
Thanks Storb, Avebury is great! ☕❤
Great video Ceri & Kat, I love this area, your walk brought back some special memories. Very interesting information on the area I didn't know. Look forward to the next installment 😊, keep well and have a lovely day Country Mouse 🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️
Good morning Country Mouse, that's really kind of you to say, so pleased you enjoyed this video. It's a wonderful area and rammed full of history, so pleased Kat knows what's what because I was lost with my hill and church info lol! We hope you are having a wondeful weekend, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤🌞☕👍
Thats amazing that you can go inside the barrow! It constantly amazes me that 5000 years ago people could place massive stones into place and create mysterious and incredible structures!
Good morning Tom, Hannah, thanks so much for joining us on this one, amazing isnt it! A really interesting place and incredible content picture the construction 5000 bloomin years ago, mind boggling! Hope you are both good and well, Ceri and Kat ♥️☕👍🤗
nice view,,enjoy and keep safe always!!
Thanks for the support and feedback, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍
Very interesting, loved the explanations and the Neolithic features. Plenty of information, we have visited the area many times but never went to the long barrow, it's on the list now. Can't wait for part 2. Xx
Hello Kath, thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to comment, really appreciated you joining us on this one ❤ we give the long barrow our seal of approval, well worth a visit and very accessible from the laybe at the bottom of the field. Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤🌞
A really interesting walk guys. Some fascinating history and stone construction along the way. 5500 years old. I’d love to go back in a time machine for a day to see what life was like back then. My favourite bit of the video has to be those little lambs. How cute are they 😍. Great video as always. Hope you’re enjoying a bit more freedom too 💚🙂👍
Good morning Anthony, thanks so much for joining us on this one, very much appreciated ❤
Yes the mind boggles, imagine the super power of being able to talk with these artifacts, ask them anything you wanted!? The tales they could tell. Stay safe and well, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕🤗❤
A mind blowing history lesson
Hahah hello Mr Tramp, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, alot of history to pack into this one...part two has hills! Talk soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕🏔
Stone circles are fascinating. That is one heck of a lot of stone circles/ routes. The thing that was 5,000+ years old - that is mind boggling! What changes it has witnessed. Another great video. 👍
Good morning and thank you for joining us on this one, we really appreciate your support and feedback 🏛❤👍 the mind does Google, the time frame is massive and the story's they could tell! We hope you are good and well, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍🤗☕
Very nice video, thank you friend!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support and feedback, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🌞
Interesting place. Brings back memories when we visited stonehenge. L32.
Hello hi, yes very much like Stonehenge, a much bigger site and a better explore and day out in our opinion. Thank you for your kind words and support, really appreciated, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍🌞
Another great video guys. We love Avebury. As usual Kat is a goldmine of info . I'm more like Ceri in that I can only remember one or two pieces of info. Lol. Looking forward to part 2.🙂🙂👍👍
Haha good morning Martin, its smashing isn't it! She is amazing huh, I genuinely dont know how she does it, the cutting room floor is littered with outtakes of my mis-information lol! Hope you guys are good and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🤗🌞
Hello guys, another great video, amazing that you can get so close to the stones and inside the barrow, shame that Silbury hill was fenced off, dancing would have been fun! 🤟🏻 SC
Hey Sparta, yes I was happy as a Ceri in a Long Barrow when I found out you could access it, incredible! Spoiler alert....there will be dancing in part2! Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍
I always get excited when you guys put out a new video! I really enjoy the historical information as well.
Good morning Leonidas, that is a really sweet thing to say, thank you so much. Pleased you enjoy the videos, we are still dying to return to the wilds and mountains but it's good to know these types of videos are enjoyed too ❤🏛🤗 hope you are good and well, Ceri and Kat ☕👍
wow, so amazing place. Thanks my friend
Thanks so much for your kind words and taking the time to watch, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕

Hello in South Africa, really pleased enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind words and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate the support ❤👍 stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕🌞🤗
Thats a really interesting location, guys. Been somewhere similar in France once but wasn't aware of this place. Great video you pair, thanks for sharing
Hey Trev, it's an incredible place and you get to have a good poke around too, only a few places we couldt stick our grubby little stone poking fingers 👈❤ well worth a visit of ever you and the family are down this way. Thanks so much for joining us on this one and your support, catch you again, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🌞🤗
The sandstone structures and even the solo rocks are just so amazing to me!! I hate to stereotype but it's nice to see some sunshine in the UK!! 😀
Hahah 🧐🌞 good morning Tim! I know right, it's amazing! By the end of this day we had both picked up suntans, it was a beauty and long over due! The stone are great huh, I love how it was particularly used by locals for buildings walls and houses, I would have had my fill if I could! Hope you are well, Ceri and Kat 🏛❤🌞🤗
Super video again guys! I’m always surprised that so many people gravitate to Stonehenge as opposed to the fabulous megalithic landscape of Avebury, as you display here. I have a friend from my schooldays who actually spent a lengthy period camping at Stonehenge (we are old and there was a time when you could do that without being arrested - the pagans, druids, free festivals and massive crowds put paid to that) drawing it, photographing it and generally researching/exploring it. Of course he was familiar with Avebury too and he introduced us to it in the 1970s when we tried an ill informed and ultimately doomed-due-to-good-weather attempt on the Ridgeway. Today he says of these sites and particularly Stonehenge, that if you can back it up with evidence, then any theory you have about what it is for is as valid as anybody else’s. Which is probably as wise an opinion as you can arrive at. Anyway, I think you need to be a hard core megalith fan to appreciate Stonehenge. Granted it’s iconic, but on first inspection, it seems a bit small, almost underwhelming. It gets bigger in your head when you learn what it could be for and what it measures when you are away from it. Avebury, on the other hand, never fails to thrill!
Good morning Ian and thanks so much for the amazing feedback, wow camping at the stones and researching them must have been one heck of an experience. Have explored both areas a few time sovereign ourselves, we concur with you that Avebury is hands down the winner for spectical and experience, so much more to see and feel there. Its incredible ❤🏛 really pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for your support, it is really appreciated, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🤗
@@TeaInValhalla We are blessed with a variety of sites in this country that are stunning. If you are ever in Derbyshire look up Arbor Low and have a walk to it,. Likewise Machrie Moor on Arran has amazing standing stones and few people go. Actually Arran is a fantastic spot - Scotland in miniature - and has great walking and climbing. In fact I would be there now - our friends have a property there (holiday rentals available!) but for COVID and a (very) recent hip replacement op. But as soon as I’m able I hope to be lacing my boots up again (I suppose that will be when I have flexibility back to reach my laces!) - still have Cir Mhor to summit (look it up!). My Stonehenge obsessed friend grew up, had an ‘interesting’ career path and recently wrote a book called ‘Touching the Past’ featuring sites that a) can be approached on foot, b) you can touch (so rules out Stonehenge) and c) are free (see ‘b’!). Dates from prehistory (walk a tectonic plate) to modern times (a giant open cast mining excavator). Fascinating stuff and could prop a door open in an emergency!
That's so cool!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, we are very pleased with the video ❤🤗☕ catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕
Enjoyed the tour with you! This really wonderful place to visit, thank you very much for comments! Like 29. Subscribed
Hello Nord adventures, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment on and support our channel, we will be sure to check yours out too. It really is a wonderful place, so much history. Catch you again, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🤗🌞
Great video. Love Avebury but that avenue brings back painful memories of the end of a 26 mile walk from stonehenge
Yikes sorry if this bough back some blister filled, limping nightmares for you, hopefully more pride than pain ❤☕ smashing area isn't it, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤🌞🤗
Awesome stones! Loving the wee lambs too! Interesting how up close and personal you can get to these stones. Probably never get to visit here so thanks for the journey! Cheers and all the best. Paul
Good morning Paul, we know right the lambs are amazing, we were out yesterday hiking too and all the fields are full of them, the noise was both cute and deafing! Pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment and support, really appreciated, all the best, Ceri and Kat 🌞❤☕
Cool video there mate looking forward to the next one
Afternoon sir, thanks for the support, appreciated! Pleaed you enjoyed the video, have a good week, Ceri and Kat 👍☕
I find it so interesting and unique to have these mysteries and the history that are so old! I'd love to see them! I enjoyed the video and learning of course!
Hey Beck, hope you are well, sorry for the slow reply, been a busy week here. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment and support, really pleased you enjoyed the video. It is an amazing place, in our opinion, a much better say out than stone hedge ❤👍🤗 stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕🌞
Nice and interesting place.
Thanks so much, appreciate your comment, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 👍❤☕
What Fantastic Tour Looks absolutely magical Maybe one day I'll get chance to see that part the of the world I cannot wait to part 2 content again guys nice 😊😀
Good afternoon, it a beautiful and your right to say magical part of Wiltshire ❤ thanks so much for your kind words and taking the time to comment and watch. Hope you get a chance to visit one day, free! Really appreciate it, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕🤗👍
Fantastic video. I've always fancied a visit to Avebury but I didn't realise it was as extensive as that. It's funny that Stonehenge gets all the visitors, yet Avebury looks more impressive (IMHO). Avebury reminds me of the Carnac standing stones, which similarly can be visited free of charge. I hope you guys are having a great weekend, Brian and Sah.
Hello Brian, Sah, yes Avebury most definitely a better day out in our opinion too. I understand the mystery around Stonehenge, but I think the histyand transparency around Avebury,maybe with a few unexplained happenings makes for a better explore. We are very well thank you, hope you guys are good too, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍🌅
Nice video my friend👍🏻
Thanks Mehmet, we appreciate the comment and support, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍🌞
wow that is so awesome you guys get to travel and explore. really enjoy life.
Hello and good afternoon from a sunny Wiltshire ❤ very lucky to have this only an hour away from home, it's a magical place. Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕👍🤗
Wow, a little like stonehenge, but new to me. Thanks for the introduction.
Hello, yes only about 28 miles from Stonehenge, alot more to see and do here tho. We did a Stonehenge video back in December if you fancy a look ☕👍 stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 🤗❤
Never been to that long barrow, looks interesting. 👍
Well worth a visit and great veiws of the local area too, the laybe at the bottom makes it very accessible too. Hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ❤🌞☕
Another great watch, and as always very knowledgeable 😁 we have a few stone circles up here in Cumbria, and I'm thinking about wildcamping one of them, keep up the awesome work, thanks for sharing,atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Good evening Paul, thanks for joining us on this one and your lovely comment ❤ we love Castle Rig, one of the first stone circles Kat ever showed me, great veiws of the Lakes too, might be a nice location!? Hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ☕🌞🤗❤
Really appreciative !! No doubt !
Beautifully , methodically designed work of a well-skilled designer ,I must say ! I appreciate your efforts and dedication in your work . So simple yet so powerful . Go ahead my dear friend . my best wishes . ❤️❤️
Hello, thank you for your kind words and taking the time to watch and comment. Really appreciate the support ❤ please you enjoyed the video and found it educational too, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 🤗❤☕🏔
Great new trip guys !! All the best in your next adventures, we stay tuned :)
Hey guys, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment and support, really appreciated ❤👍 pleaed you enjoyed the video, we will catch you soon, Ceri and Kat 🌞☕❤🚐
Stone circles fascinate me, they radiate history and mystery and my mind is always blown when I am in one, weather I am wearing fancy pants or not😂. How on earth did they move those huge stones all those years ago and I am also fascinated by the difference between males and females to this day😇. You got a cracking day and a free park as well - can it get any better! I love the stone circle at Castlerigg in the Lake District and have gone many times at different times and it is always busy there unfortunately. Fascinating historical knowledge and Avebury sounds an amazing place to visit. The chalk hill was another amazing site but what a shame it was fenced off. Well deserved World Heritage Site, so much history there and when you think when it was actually created, amazing! Cheers Alan
Hey Alan, sorry for the slow response on this one. Kat says the area would have been alot wetter back then, and odds are they moved the stones with water, so the river and such. It was an amazing day and we really enjoyed this walk and Avebury, there is a pub In the village that claims to be the the only pub In the world, in a stone circle lol
Free parking is always great, especially when they are charging an arm and a leg just a megalithic stones throw away!
We absolutely castle rig, not far from Dale's bottom farm, a lovley rural camp site Kat and her family have visited many times over the years and we have camped at a couple of times too. Just lovely. Catch you soon, mange tout, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍
That was really interesting, I not come across these standing stones before. I like wild camping at historical sites (eg Hill forts etc) so found this fascinating. I am contemplating my first post lockdown camp on the site of a Norman Motte & Bailey castle next week.
Good morning John, that is a great idea for a wild camp location! 🏕🏛 love it! ❤ pleased you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for join us, we really appreciate the support. Hope you and Mrs camping Astronomer are good and well, Ceri and Kat ❤🤗☕🌅
Those megaliths are so big and impressive! Great video as always! ATB Kaat

Really impressive as always guys, I've always wanted to visit the Avebury area but haven't had the chance yet, will have to make a trip out there for sure, keep safe and hope you had a good weekend 👍
Good afternoon, it is very much worth the trip and would wager once restrictions ease the Red Lion pub in the village would be a worthy stop too, maybe for a bite! Thanks for joining us, catch you guys soon, Ceri and Kat ☕🌅❤👍
@@TeaInValhalla I can vouch for that. It is!
Your prodigal sons the USA, love and esteem you, your King, and the people. I , we, thank you. for every wonderful and interesting inquiry you make.
Love Avesbury, really interesting thanks
Hello and good morning Paul, thank you for the comment and support, really appreciated, hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ♥️☕👍
Ceri & Kat, worth getting up early for that beautiful morning☀️ That avenue of stones (both male & female) and stone circle were both really impressive, though the research and commentary made it even more so❗️Both of you doing homework‼️ Love the idea of the echo chamber to talk to the gods. Great perspective running and walking on the Longbarrow and really cool that you can go inside. Great prehistoric exploring 👍😊
Good morning Gerry, thank you so much for your support and lovley comment ❤🤗 really pleased you enjoyed the video and out walk down history lane if you will! The early mornings are some of our favourite times, catch you soon, hope you are good and well, Ceri and Kat ❤🌞☕
When I was a school kid in grade 4 or 5, I had a teacher who was obsessed with obelisks and megalithic stones...he had them all over the classroom and we could set them up in different formations...all except a few that could not be touched...at the time I thought it was rather neat, but looking back now, not sure what I make of it...but in the landscape and their history it is all very fascinating!
Crikey, he wasnt a practising druid was he? Yes the stones are a sight to behold, pleased you found the video interesting, very kind of you to say. It was a smashing day for a bimble too, catch you and yue wondeful Otis soon,Ceri and Kat ☕❤🤗👍
@@TeaInValhalla I wouldn't put it past the possibility...you have to remember that it was the 60's and just about anything went... :-)
@@wendingourway just so long as no sacrifices were made in school time 🤫😬👍
This is deff on my bucket list,before i kick the bucket lol .debs
Hahaha ooh Debs! No bucket kicking please,not on our watch! Bucket list, ticking tho, yes please! Well worth a visit, a pub I Avebury too, claims to be the only pub in a stone circle in the world lol have a good end of the week, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍
I’ve visited Avebury few years ago and it really is impressive place. It is not as famous as the Stonehenge, but I have to admit, I liked it a bit better. Thanks for this trip down the memory lane!
Good evening and thanks for joining us on this one, pleased it jogged some happy memories for you ❤👍 we agree with you, Avebury definitely trumps Stonehenge in our opinion too, more to see and do, and tactile! Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍
@@TeaInValhalla It did, thanks. I couldn't agree more. It really has much more to offer. Thank you, you too! Have a wonderful day! Urska
You two have good vibes! Great start of the video with how you two introduced yourselves. Interesting to see, never heard of this before (only heard of stone henge)
Hello and good afternoon, thank you for your kind words and taking the time to comment ❤ really appreciated the feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes it is inky 28 miles from Stonehenge, we have made a video there too. Avebury makes for a better day out in our opinion. Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤🤗👍
Enjoyed the video guys! This is my favourite walk.....Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow and back down past Silbury hill alongside the river you walked along, on the way back to Avebury. I normally look forward to a jetboil brew at West Kennet looking back down on Silbury. Thanks for commenting on my resent uploads. Maybe catch u both for a brew at West Kennet one day. Take care both of you. Cheers Mark
Good afternoon Mark, we can see why it's a favourite of yours, it's a stunning and history packed part of wondeful Wiltshire. We will keepour eyes peeled for you in future trips! Have been working on part two this week, should be up for sunday ❤👍☕ stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤👋👍

Good morning Daz, Andy, we are hoping to show and tell some camping soon!

To bee continued - like that! lol This was very interesting and I had very little idea all this stuff was out there as it's not an area of Britain that I have visited a lot, sadly...
Hello Again Snowy, pleased you enjoyed the video, there was alot to share on this one, hence the 2 parter, wel worth a visit if you ever get a chance. We hope you are good and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🌞🐝
Cliff hangers aaaargh, when will we get to find out about milk hill. Another great video. where do you learn all this stuff, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Evening Gus, I know right! Lole an episode of 24, only minus the bombs and guns! Almost certainly 100% more dancing...to come! Been working on part 2 tonight, will more than likely be up for the weekend 🤗 Kat is a my font, she has a passion for learning and history, and unlike me she remember the information too! Hope you are good and well, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🤗
Wow Super widok, uwielbiam oglądać nowe miejsca 🌹👋👍✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️👍😘
A u mnie spacer po mieście 😊☀️✌️✋
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Warszawy Polska 🇵🇱😘
Thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 👍☕❤🤗
🤣😍👌🏼👍🏼Loved this guys! Love Kat’s knowledge - don’t get too big for your boots Ceri, your job is to point the camera and nod in admiration of Kat’s knowledge! 🤣😂
Never been to Avebury myself, will definitely have to head over that way now I have had a bit of education on what’s to be seen! Brilliant film guys, keeping me warm in my tent high in the Lake District! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more! X😉👍🏼👏
Good morning Richie, pleased we could keep you company on your Lakeland camp, social media photos look incredible! Wiltshire and Avebury definitely worth a visit, it's an amazing place. Kat was chuckling when I read this one out, camera man Ceri she said! Side duties of tea carrying and biscuits distribution. Hope you are enjoying you time up the hill, hug a trig for us! Catch you soon, Ceri and Kat 🏔👍🏕❤🏔👍🤗🥰🌅
Nice dead cat (the one Kat is using) - actually does look like a small dead cat and if that isn’t going to stop the wind - nothing will! Also noted, later on, that your dead cat looks more like a bit of foam stuck on (like mine) - I think we can all determine who the boss of the show is LOL. Strange misogynistic stones lined your walk - I can’t believe the WOKE brigade haven’t pulled them down. The “field” to the long barrow was more like desolated barrens - it was almost never ending, I have never seen a field so big lol. We have some burial chambers in North Wales but nothing as grandiose as that one. Fascinating to see inside, well done taking a torch.
Looked like the sun caused you a bit of bother (again) today (too bright, too much auto adjustment from the technology of the camera(s) blah blah blah and those pesky shadows again but you did a great job with the editing!). If those “Henge” thingies have anything to do with druid sun worshipping you need to have a word lol.
And, it was fun to see someone wave back when Kat waved at the church window (going to watch that back now aren’t you?) 8D
Hahha good morning Ian, thank you as always for joining us and your kind words and support. The druids certainly tried their best, along with our over excitement and forgetting everything you have ever taught us lol 🌞🤭🌞 it was a stunning day and this did cause a few shadows related boo boos. Really please dyou enjoyed the hike and yes Kats parents bought her the Microphone for her birthday recently, love a good upgrade!
The area is littered with never ending fields, the long barrow was something else right! The torch always comes out with us luckily, just incase, and this instance my lunacy was rewarded lol 🔦🕯👍 we hope you are good and well, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕🤗 have a great week!
That's a neat place
Thanks Naomi, really is magical ❤ hope you are well, Ceri and Kat 👍🤗
I wonder where stones of that size go to have to be replaced by bollards? Ok the ones near villages go to buildings but the ones out in the middle of nowhere? Another very informative video, well made. I think you should do one video where Ceri does the history lesson and Kat corrects him in the background lol. Cheers guys
Hahaha hello guys, well the stories got hat the bigger stones used to be places on bonfires, this would make them split and crack, enabling them to be chunked into smaller more usable sizes. Hahha yes a "what did he say" blooper video with Kat tidying up behind be would be great! True story when we group walk a couple of is do just that lol, when in doubt blame the Roman's is a good rule of thumb lol! Talk soon, Ceri and Kat 👍❤☕
What a fascinating walk... just love all the history. Walking in the footsteps of your ancestors, indeed. So wanted to see that tap-show Ceri! 😉
Makes us want to visit & explore all these incredible places you show post-covid. The huge tomb is especially fascinating... 5500 years old is hard to conceive of. (Work-life has been a tad insane of late so getting caught up on your walks! Such a lovely treat to go along with the two of you vicariously!)
Are you out of lockdown now? Hope you are both keeping well! 💕 Cheers from the side of the pond! 🇨🇦
Good morning and thanks you for joining us on, we really love taking you along with us. So pleased you enjoyed the video and all the history, heck if ever you do make it over one day, two tour guides at the ready...tap shows n all....🕺💃😆 the time line is mind boggling, and the tools and ways the built everything is amazing too! We have slightly eased restrictions now, so we are now able to travel a little further and even wild camp! So our plans are changing as the weeks unfold, we visited Dartmoor the weekend just past and it was incredible, little things, silence, stone walls, open moorland, it was lovely ❤☕ stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 💃🕺🤗🌞
Hello friends! Forgot your binoculars, are you birders as well as having an amazing knowledge of both natural and human history? When things in the world get better, we really need to come do a walking tour of the UK. We have some really cool mound builder structures here in in the USA which date back to 3500 BC. My son Bryce and I visited a mound builder city by St Louis called Cahokia on our way out west a couple years ago. At this city's climax in about 1150 CE, this settlement had between 20,000-30,000 people which was larger than both London and Paris at that time. Bryce and I climbed Monks Mound at Cahokia which is more than 100 feet tall and the largest pre-Columbian mound north of Mexico. I love ancient history! Keep Wandering! Thx, Ken
Good morning Ken, wow the mounds sound fascinating, that is a massive settlement! So good that you can share that with your son Bryce too, absolutely fantastic! Would be amazing if once the world settles down a bit you get a chance to head over this way, keep is posted!
Books, binoculars and food is the basic makeup of our rucksack, more the later than anything lol! We captured a great bird call andsight sight of a Peewit in part two, a first for us and a very unusual call! Stay safe you guys, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕🦅🦢🦆
Seems ive watched your videos in the wrong order 🤣🤣 My nuts week made me have to try and catch up on UA-cam the weekend and saw todays video first.
Very, very interesting video really love all the information.
Some of those rocks are massive haha, its mad when you think about the history in these places and bet some people walk round them and have no idea.
I dont know why but I really like that man made hill 😊 Sidbury Hill was it? Would love to go up that or even see it one day.
That place with all those tombs is cool 😎
Thanks for a perfectly fantastic video... much love ❤🙏🏼💯😊😊👍🏻👍🏻 Chris
Hey Chris, blame the sun! Its melting all our brains currently, none knows what it is or how long it will stay for 🌞🤞❤ no need to apologise, only so many hours in the day...we will always catch up at some point I'm sure.
Yes Silbury hill is weird huh, we were sad to see it was fenced off, and in actual fact the end of the 2part shows it almost has it's own marshy moat too!
We hope you are good and well, catch you soon, thank you as always for your amazing support and super feedback, you are a top 🍌
Have a great week, Ceri and Kat 🏕⛰🤞❤🌞🍌
Great vlog. We lived it when we went there, it was just amazing. We parked on the NT car park as we didn't know of anywhere else. They charged us £12 for being in a motorhome!
Jeeze £12 that's pretty steep, yes just up the road there are some free parking areas, oddly enough there was a camper van in front of our car all day, still there when we left too! 🚐❤ thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment and support, massively appreciated, Ceri and Kat ❤👍🤗☕
@@TeaInValhalla you're welcome. We always like to support channels we subscribe to.

It is mad how much work must of gone into all of these monuments! I love how much information you give as well! Always makes me want to go and have a look myself!
Got to love a two parter 👍 How big is that hill! I will find out soon!
Hahaha hello Rob, sorry for the slow response, better late than never right! Hope you enjoyed part 2 too! We really lived this walk, Avebury was brillaint much better than stone henge for a day out and to explore. Catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍
@@TeaInValhalla No worries 👍 and yh it did look good! loads to see! plus free! Thank you for sharing 😁
Amazing commentary - do you work in an archeological museum or something? You can’t beat a cheese and onion sandwich 🥪 on a long walk. The simple things in life taste so much better when you’re tired after long walk 😀
Good morning, absolutely! A good hike elevates the humble cheese sandwich and cup of tea to dizzying new heights! 🥪☕❤
Kat is an ecologist, but has a passion for most things and an incredible power to retain knowledge, this area is amazing and we appreciate your feedback and support. We hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ❤👍🤗☕
Hello
a very interesting and entertaining video about Avebury Henge.
You present the information about this truly gigantic place in a very refreshing and personable way.
👍👍👍
All of this makes you want more videos and therefore a subscription from me.
Please excuse my bad English but I really hope you understand what I mean.
Stay healthy and best regards from Tyrol.
Andy
Hello Tyrol and Andy, your English is very good and we are very pleased that you enjoyed our video and style of presentation. Really appreciate your feedback and support, thank you so much. We have mostly been focused on local walks recently for obvious reasons, we are hoping to venture out more in the coming months. Stay safe and well, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🌞🤗
Love this area, not been abel to get for a couple of years butwi o this year
A stunning place, we hope you can get back soon, we love it too. Have a nice night, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭
Hey guys you picked a great day for your outing, I noticed Kat was talking bollards🤣🤣🤣
Wiltshire has so much history and I guess a lot more to walk than the steep hills of Wales.
I some how watched the second video first 🤭. You are quite mad👍 atb Taff 🤠 👊👊
Taaaaaaaff! Kat talking bollards, surely not?! Hahahha she chuckled at that. We have been super lucky throughout lockdown and cannot wait to start exploring Wales, Dartmoor and the lakes again, watch this space! Hoping the next few videos will offer some different scenery. Still not been able to dust the tent off yet, various hurdles with work n all to overcome first.
Great to hear from you and we hope you are well, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍⛰⛰🤞🏕
very very interesting and curious places you are showing us, I can't understand in full though.. By the way, I've visited Stonehenge in 1992 . Greeting from Korea 👍
Hello and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate the the support ❤ pleased you have visited Stonehenge, this is very similar and only 28 miles away . Glad you enjoyed the video, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🌞👍
Nice video very informative 👍👍 love it got your self a sub keep up the good work atb justkarl_outdoors
Hello Just Karl, sorry for the slow response here, will check you and your channel out shortly. Really appreciate your support and kind words, stay and well, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍👌
That "deliberately shaped" stone was vandalised about a decade ago. It was not originally that shape.
Thanks for sharing that with us, we did wonder! Hope you enjoyed the video, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat 💪☕️❤️👍
Enjoyable watch but way too much conjecture and supposition.

Hello Yono, thank you, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍
silburry hill, they knew from higher mind [ ] that they had to build as high as necessary to see a certain star dissapeear behind the horizon so the sign of the hunter is in alignement, which also gives the right harmonics overall. to climb that specific height mountain, the effort, the sweat, the inner attitude, and yes, dance your little dance and drink a little water. river. as up so below. where is your west east long stone barrow alignment tears now huh ??, are they in the sky are they ? are they now ? so ancestralsupport with sweat and breath up that hunter hill. [ hill top center aligns with menhir in port st mary on the isle of uhmm man. over west barrow main stone. entrance. like...super precise. pure coincidence. 100 percent hit after some 500+km. the chance... ] where is that rivers water now mate ? is in the sky ? is it in the sea ? is it basically every-ware = is it now ? not only it iso...it cannot - not be so. is weird that you ask about the purpose of music innit. instead of abilty i mean....what kind of persona does that sort of thing.
