    You got some great views as well as a great days weather as well, something I am starting to really miss now. I love walking on the Roman roads in the Lake District and always get that sense of history as I am walking along there. So many ghost stories on roman legionaries, not sure if I would want to bump into one or not, cheers Alan

      I've not done any of the Roman Roads in the Lake District yet , but I imagine there were some major ones going through to Hadrian's wall and Scotland , The lake's are rich with fascinating history. The are a lot of Roman legionnaires ghost story's , I think its deep in our folk memory , I know when the Anglo Saxons first came across Roman roads and the ruins of their forts and buildings they thought they had been built by giants. Best wishes pal 🦇🦇🖤🖤

      I had walked the Sungreen end many times before I found out it was a roman road, It is really nice walking up there away from all the nonsense going on the towns and cities. Best wishes pal 🙂🙂

    I love old pathways John. Buildings, waterways, vegetation all change over time, but the pathways are some of the oldest features whose use over time has constantly changed but the course hasn't. There are many "Roman" roads that were tracks long before the Roman times. Great video, thanks mate.

    Coincidentally we were at that duck pond today with the kids!
    They wanted bikes out which wasn’t ideal 😂
