Best wishes for 2024 Nic, my favorite history teacher has made another beautiful and educational walk, thank you for all the beautiful things you showed us again today. 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
An excellent and extremely interesting video Walking with Wyrd! It all blows my tiny mind too! You are the perfect guide for me! Thank you for showing us!
Hey all! I hope you enjoy the first video of 2024! For those interested in nearby Avebury Stone Circle, here is the link for the video I did on that back in the summer: ua-cam.com/video/ebDAVyyv8fM/v-deo.htmlsi=nAbKRDt-ZumX0xZr
Just watching this at the start of the 10th month. Very enjoyable armchair stroll, in your esteemed company. I understand that recently some more archaeological investigations have been allowed there, also they now know exactly where the blue stones were quarried, Their transport however is still less sure. Keep walking wyrdly!
Crackin stuff Nic, been past there a few times but have never stopped, why....I don't know but there's so much beautiful scenery there and you put it together and presented it very well. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Mark! Definitely worth a visit at some point. The whole area is full of burials and history. If there's gonna be hauntings, surely this is the place! 😄
Welcome back 😊 I have a photo of me in my dad's arms as a newborn at Stonehenge, when you were allowed to walk amongst the stones. 57 years ago 😳😂 lnteresting video, not heard of Woodhenge ❤
Thank you, Lorraine! It is such a shame that you can no longer get as close to the stones, but I do understand the need for preservation. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Hadn't heard of Woodhenge before but found it by happy accident on our way to Stonehenge...such a sad little grave in the middle...Enjoyed Stonehenge, it was worth the admission for the museum and all the rest. One day I hope to go back for the VIP tour into the circle. Happy new year to ya, you were gone too long!
Thanks, David! I agree, it was worth paying to see the stones just to get that bit closer. The VIP experience sounds well worth doing! Thanks as always for watching 🙂
Great video, really enjoyed it. During a visit in the late Nineties I was following an American tourist guide and her group. When they were on the opposite side of the stones to the Heel Stone she brought out some dowsing (divining?) rods, and demonstrated that in a particular spot the rods would spin 'round quite quickly, then stop if she took a few steps to either side. I don't know whether this was her playing a trick on the group or if she believed it was a genuine phenomenon. However, a few years later my dad and I visited the Rollright Stones and the warden sold me a pair of copper dowsing rods. Walking around the inside of the circle holding them out in front, both my dad and I found that they would either point to certain stones as we passed, or the rods crossed at others. Both Dad and I getting similar results at similar stones. Again, how genuine this was or whether it was some sort of auto suggestion I couldn't say, but it would be interesting to know if anyone else has experienced this.
Hi Adrian! Thank you for watching! These sound like two very interesting experiences! Like you, I'm a little sceptical around dowsing but still open to the possibility of there being something to it. A lot of visitors to Stonehenge report the feeling of being pulled there - energetically speaking. I typed 'Dowsing at Stonehenge' into youtube, and quite a few videos came up, so it seems you're not alone in your experience!
Wow, amazing video. So close but never been. Must get there. Have you been to Old Sarum? Think I have when I was younger. Went to the airfield in 2022 for a skydive, great views from that height 😂😂
A good video to start the year with. Although I prefer Avebury, Stonehenge does have a certain grandeur about it. I've attended a couple of private Solstice rituals with a druid group inside the circle and it was quite a powerful experience (first time I've been inside since I was four, when you could wander in freely). It's smaller inside than you would imagine, and the stones seem to loom over you. I did find it a little unsettling, as if the ancestors were watching you.
I can only imagine how special those private rituals were. Must have been a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed my visit, but like you, I do prefer Avebury. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I too can remember when you could get into Stonehenge for free. My parents took me there one Sunday afternoon in or about 1955. We parked the car on the side of the road and just walked in . We were pretty much the only people there , and were outnumbered by a group of cows . No one ever dreamed then that bus loads of foreign tourists would arrive every day and pay an arm and a leg to have a guided tour .
I've been debating whether or not to go the free or paid route to see the stones soon . i saw them in the 80s at school, so can't remember much. It looks like 23 pounds only gets you somewhat closer than free. hate being a cheapskate but also don't like getting ripped off... very interesting video nonetheless!
I do agree - it's quite expensive for what is essentially a glimpse of the stones at a distance. If you could visit during the Solstice for free, I think that would be worth doing.
Brilliant as always! Thank you, and happy 2024!
Thank you, Kate! Happy 2024 to you too.

Thank you for sharing. I'll never get there, so it is wonderful to see in video. It's so beautiful and baffling. Thanks again
It's definitely mind-boggling as to how they made it! Thanks so much for watching, Julie!
I'm not English , but this marvel just makes me feel some type of way , I'm glad it's been preserved, thank you for showing us on your lovely walk
Glad you enjoyed it!

It's an ever changing picture due to the advances in archaeological technology. I wonder what they'll learn next! Thanks for watching, David!
Great video Nic 👏👏👏 Love this place, it always gives me the tingles ❤️
It does feel really magical out there! ✨️ Thanks for watching! 😁
another great video and nice to see it being filmed whilst approached on foot
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

it would be interesting if the stones could talk, they would have a lot to say. As always, I enjoyed the walk☺
Wouldn't it just! That would solve everything! Thanks for watching Panaka. 🙂

Great video! I think I would need a few days at least to explore that area
Most definitely! I only scratched the surface in this video - there's so much more to explore up there.
Great video, really enjoyed it.

Oh wow! That must have been the very best of views! I do love Old Sarum.
Love these walks into the past ❤ Wait... WHAT??? 😱 NO SCARY COWS?
Thanks Carlitos! And yes, sadly no cows this time - plenty of sheep though 😄
