If you don't look for what the past has left you, you will not find it.
Greetings, I am the Wessex Nomad. I venture to some well known and some not very well known parts of the English (and sometimes foreign) countryside to hunt for ancient relics, stone circles, dolmens, old churches, tiny churches, ossuaries and whatever else this mystical island has to offer. Nothing is usually scripted and I just go in raw without knowing what is ahead of me, so it's as fresh for me as it is for you!
Please subscribe and join the adventure as I take you with me on my pilgrimages!
Wassail!

The Hell Stone Dolmen and Other Ancient Relics in Dorset
On a summer's day in the southern English county of Dorset, I embark on an adventure to some rural locations holding relics from our ancient past. The magic and mysticism of our land was really in the air throughout the day, making this a very joyful experience.

I've ventured to the Hell Stone Dolmen on a very wet and windy day. Wasn't my best idea 😄 I didn't make it to the other stone circles nearby, but do hope to return someday. Great video! Good to see like-minded folk out and about 😊
You definitely should, magical places! Absolute gold mine of historical places around there.
@@_the_wessex_nomad_ I shall! They call that part of Dorset the land of stones and bones - I love that ✨️
Same! Very apt 😁
I really enjoyed this. I wanted to concentrate on what he was saying, but the music( though lovely) was too loud and distracting. Not trying to be mean, but helpful for future videos.
Fabulous! Ancient history exploration and solitude in amazing British countryside. Simply the best.
Thank you for your kind words as always! Glad you enjoyed 🙏
👍
À magical route. I did a similar route as you with my wife before she passed a few years back. We parked at the Hardy Monument, and did the same route but came back via the Valley of the Stones. Last year the kids and I did the same route as a kinda of pilgrimage to her. It's magical. We also went down into Abbotsbury and visited St Catherine's Tower, which is the building you saw in the distance. The other two stones circles would be Rempstone near Corfe and Nine Stones down in Winterborne Abbas. Make sure to visit Nine Barrow Down on the ridge above Rempstone too.
What a lovely story! I walked past the Valley of Stones, but I thought I'd save it for next time. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely make a note!
Beautiful and sacred
100%
Great to see these sites again. Until recently I lived in Dorset and used to walk this exact route to visit these ancient sites. There's a real energy out there like you say, particularly at Grey Mare. I never saw anybody else either! Later on i met the landowners for Grey Mare and they have some ancient waymarkers on their land too, i forget where exactly unfortunately. Another one off the beaten path is the Harpstone near Corfe. It's pretty hidden in a field boundary and sometimes overgrown but a nice menhir all the same. Oh and that building you saw in the distance looks like St Catherine's Chapel. Great video!
That's really interesting, thank you for all that information! I'll certainly add it to the itinerary of my next trip!
20:05 made me giggle
I just had to 😎
Nice to see you leaving an offering mate.. you'll always get something in return, just have to have open eyes to see it.. Great video
Cheers, mate!
Love the soundtrack too… not sure I like the energy of that brick thing though. I might feel differently once I know who built it and why… thanks for taking us with you. ✨👍🏼✨
It's a pleasure as always! Thank you!
I’m glad these kinds of sites are hidden. Keeps them special imo ✨
@ 4:08… I’m guessing that was an OtherWorld Pixie or somesuch grabbing at your foot, wanting to show you around The UnderWorld 🤭
Indeed. A shy thing that didn't want to be on camera 😁
Only part of the way through but your editing and filming style is fantastic! Such great progress mate.
Thank you so much, mate! I made a point of improving my skills on this video, so to see this as the first comment has really shown that it worked! 🙏
Well done guys. Woodlander vid put me on to your channel 😅
Thank you, and welcome!
It's a troll town full of SICK attention seekers. My bro was killed by a doorman and certain people used Facebook to virtue signal. SICK profile flexers .........
When did that happen?
@@_the_wessex_nomad_ 2012
Lived in Weston for 10 years and there's loads of positives. Although I did get attacked by Birbeck Pier and mugged in meadow street but loads of positives. Worked for North Somerset CAB. Did outreach on the Bournville. Some great characters.
Is it scary visiting the church wherein there is cemetery besides the old church? Why the re is tomb outside the church.why do people buried their dead near the church.
Not at all. It feels very tranquil and peaceful.
Great stuff! For years I've hiked the Cotswolds. It is a gift that keeps giving. From improving physical/mental health to an (ongoing) understanding of nature & then the (also ongoing) understanding of who has gone there before. A city dweller once asked what I enjoyed doing the most. When I told him about my love of the outdoors he replied 'so you've given up on life?'. He was a good man & I can understand his perspective but he was so wrong. Am already a subscriber to the Woodlander & now have also joined you. Thanks.
Thanks for kind words, and welcome to the channel!
Thanks for showing me where my gggg plus more great grandfather was. Very interesting
Interesting -the route and the battle are so controversial as to where ? When ? How ? -I enjoy the mystery of it all and hope that one day true evidence will be found ? (I have subscribed)
Thanks, and welcome to the channel!
@@_the_wessex_nomad_ Some of my content may interest you ? I cover a great deal of Wessex -Totally enjoyed your video-Thank you
Oh dear oh dear oh dear, yet another video about Alfred, Chippenham and Ethandun based on the lies of academia. Everything you talked about is true.........but unfortunately all of those events actually happened in the East of England, not the West. There is no evidence at all that the story happened in the locations you visited. There is a heap of evidence that it happened in East Anglia - the true story will be revealed in the first episode of my TH-cam series "Ian's Mystery Histories", look out for it!
Thank you for your input. And no, I will not look out for it. Thanks.
This was an awesome adventure to watch!
Thank you brother!
Brilliant work from the both of you. Really enjoyed the storytelling and friendship.
Many thanks!
Loved weston in the 80`s, Tropicana was amazing as a kid, pubs and nightclubs were great, there are still some lovely parks there, i pop back to see family now and again since moving away around 2000, its not much better in many places in the uk, those people who live in weston and moan need to see other towns up and down the country and then they will realise how its not so bad at all, i couldn`t afford to move back
A fine video. I like the tree analogy. The English countryside is woven together with these ancient paths. My brother’s house is located on the Hampshire-Sussex border on land formerly owned by Harold Godwinson. A herepath (army path) runs along outside his home through into Sussex. The area is threatened with destruction by housing developments.
That's really sad and frustrating. I hope those "development" plans don't go through.
Dark!
Back when the only diversity was which north Western European tribe you were part of, who were effectively all cousins of each other anyway. :)
Watched twice now ...excellent work.
Thank you! 🙏

Are you trying to tell me that we’ve got ancient Saxon/celtic roots to this land ? I was under the impression Britain’s just a hotel.
😂
Brilliant video and excellent collaboration, love seeing Woodie joining in on a history lesson. Great to see the battle field located amongst so many other important historical landmarks ❤
Thanks, the history of Wiltshire is endless!
Interesting video bud, I'm a local of that area and love it's history 👌🏻👍🏻
