No mention of the 'Ballad of the White Horse?!' Seriously, that has to be some of the most haunting writing concerning the Horse, and its scouring! I was waiting for him to quote those opening stanzas!
So good to see some of England again and with Tony's down to earth explications. My wife asked me " Who is him?" I replied "It's Baldrick, he's a national institution and beyond reproach" ... more confused looks ..... great work and thank you for sharing it.
it took your comment for me to realize Baldrick has been informing me about England for the past 3 months... God help me.
He's definitely a thread in the UK tapestry, and he's now SIR Anthony Robinson.
The trip to the WW2 pillbox was such a nice touch to put things in perspective.
I enjoyed this walk immensely. Thank you very much.
Love the walk, the history and legends. Thank you Tony from South Africa
Totally a drone from Best Buy
Tony walks the oldest part of the Ridgeway, and in my opinion the best part, but it extends east over the Thames to Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring, and you can also walk west from Avebury to the coast at Lyme Regis along the Wessex Ridgeway.
I've done the whole length (not in one go), and it was wonderful but exhausting.
This is episode 2 ... might he have covered that 8n part one on his way east?
@@amazinggrace5692 In Part 1 he walked the Icknield Way, which runs from Ivinghoe Beacon to the North Norfolk Coast.
@@ziploc2000 I think it’s amazingly wonderful that you’ve walked the whole way. How beautiful that must have been. And what good shape you must be in! We have the Appalachian Trail here in the eastern US, part of which runs near me. People hike parts or all of that and I wish I had done so in my youth. Much love on Thanksgiving Day 💕🐝🇺🇸
@@ziploc2000 I bet he pulled a Branson (Richard) and didn't really walk the whole thing
"🙄 Can't you drop me off down the street?!"
Because he didn't bike to the rocket 🤭
@@ashleelarsen5002 That's very clever 😉
Great to see Baldrick's no longer being held back by Blackadder!
Fascinating, history seems so much more alive when you explore it this way. I simply love this channel and the way it takes you along as we explore what was, and is today, leavening us to wonder what it will be tomorrow.
Taking a break from A Hatful of Sky to watch this. I didn't know that there was more than one chalk horse. This must be the one referred to in the book? And it's so beautiful! I still have trouble believing that it's ancient - it looks like like something that Picasso or Matisse would have drawn. Someday I'm going to take this walk myself.
Fast cars, women and megaliths, Keeler had a passion.
Testosterone isn't a passion, it's a hormone
Love these fascinating explorations with Tony. Brilliant. Thank you very much!
Better than Ambien :)
Good night
Holy crap! It's the medieval history UA-cam dude talking to him about the horses!
The medieval history dude is the CEO of a video game company and an officer of the Order of the British Empire .^^
@@KamikazeKatze666 fuckin wild lmao
Yep, that's Jason Kingsly, he runs the Modern History TV UA-cam channel
Thanks for the matter-of-fact reference to modern Pagans. 😊
One of my favorite videos ever ! Thank you so much. I love the walking history tour of the Ridgeway.
I really like the historical programs Tony makes. :)
Agree
Best there is, I've sometimes just listened to one while going for a walk or something.
Scott that’s true for everyone who isn’t David Attenborough. :)
Tony has Altimers how. Try Google cast of Time team members.
William findspennies yeah i loved Time Team as well. :)
I love history and would love to walk these paths. My bucket list.

Me too buddy me too, couldn’t have said it better myself!

@@Sparklingjm1 Ugh, if lonely made a noise. I hate birds, gross little things. The only redeeming bird is the chicken.
Sir Jason Kinglsey OBE (Modern History TV) helping Tony pick up girls in his fancy ride.
I bet when he started his career as an actor Tony never thought his most recognized roles were to be the presenter of historic documentaries (besides the role of Nottingham sheriff that is)
Was Baldrick the sheriff of Nottingham?
@@skippymagrue Yes. Tony Robinson created and appeared in the Robin Hood spoof "Maid Marian and her Merry Men."
He doesn’t look intimidating nor evil enough to be the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Always fascinating. Tho wish Tony would come up here to help trace the much-worse old wagon tracks to the abandoned boomtown ruins behind Mt Belmont. Those a mere 140 years old. Um, hope he can ride a horse or offroad minibike.
I knew there was something familiar with the man. He read Terry Pratchett's Discworld audiobooks, which I grew up with. Man, this is weird.
The editing at 15:20 is pretty rough.
lol I love he has a long history of a friendly relationship with EH due to Time Team but he still has the balls to crack jokes about them and some of their more draconian policies. though I do understand the last decade or so they have relaxed their policies alot from how it was.
This is a delightful tour💜
Sir Jason! Good to see ya!
Thank you..
The old hippies feature in Time Team.
weird how theres a million ways to draw/carve/build but seemed to be only few dozen or so styles in ancient days.
im sure theres alot i just havnt seen but that horse looks alot like the "stylized horses" from minoans or miceneans i think it was.
think (some)old eastern horse art looked very similar, bit bulkier. seems like very similar general art styles all over.
my artist buddies would probably make a horse made of smoke and leaving a fire trail or something.
way different than any ancient art ive ever seen. even though there was probably a ton of artists back then
im no ancient aliens person suggesting everythings connected just surprised we dont see more styles of art from ancient times.
I hated history in school because the books and the professor made it seem so mundane. No longer! Tony me it relevant and brought it to life!
"firefield down the biggest group of sars and stones" What does the word sars mean in this context? I tried google and got things on SARS the infections, nothing relates the word to stones.
sarsen stones
@@kalikadevi6626 Thank you
A 5 min drive from where my grandparents lived.
My, this is interesting.
Hey it's the guy from the UA-cams
''Corn dolly'' xD
Jason!!
People been pimping their ride with bling and using them to pick up hot girls for millennia.
3 seconds into watching the video. I'll make my prediction now; the "ex-spurts" don't know who made them, or why. Scientists are the best fiction writers.
Matt Brown this ambiguity is the appeal of science and history. We are getting closer to the truth, though, if that’s what you’re worried about. At least compared with where we were 20-800 ish years ago
Truth is a philosophical concept. Fact is a scientific concept. So are you are philosopher or a scientist? or just another fiction writer?
@@mattbrown5511 Sorry, I thought you might take issue with the word "truth" because I carelessly used it as a synonym for "facts." My point was that there is nothing bad about the scientists speculating (I thought you might be one of those flat Earth anti-vax type people).
wow you sound like the most ignorant person around
@@clairem6616 No, I am not "one of those people". It is understandable that you used truth as a synonym for facts. Unfortunately, too many people conflate the 2 words, and their respective meanings. It is bad to speculate, and then propagate that speculation as the true story. That is the crux of my issue with science.
When does he start answering questions and stop asking them?
Science is questions, not answers. You want answers, get yourself a religion.
@@waynemarvin5661 Yes! To a point.
these people absolute history all they did is repost some one else content
