@@PeteKellyHistory That's awesome. I just found your podcast I wasn't sure What other sites you have done? but I'm going through your list of podcasts to listen to now.... I am fascinated by the Roman bath houses in my mind's eye I can imagine. The battle strategies that were discussed personal things that might have been discussed, As back in the day that was like the local coffee clutch.!
This is a great format, you should definitely do more visits to individual sites and talk about their histories like this. If you're ever in the East Riding give me a shout if you want a cameraman for more flexibility!
I've been watching your History Time channel for a while. This is my first time watch one of your travel videos. Honestly, you could make a trip to the corner shop seem interesting. 😁😁😁 I love your style and OMG, the scenery there is AMAZING!!!!
@@PeteKellyHistory I have personally been to Greece twice and travelled all around the ancient sites If you love history the Greece is the best place to go out and explore my friend!!!
When I was younger (8/9 years old) we stayed in a farmhouse cottage at Dinas just a couple of miles from the base of Garn Boduan , many times I would look up at the Hill and especially when it rained or was misty and see the dark, brooding majesty of this fort never realising its history. 60 years later after seeing this I have decided to revisit the place again and climb to the top something I never did as a kid. I think visiting all of the Edward I castles of Wales awoke a interest in history still with me today. Thanks Pete.
Even without the history lesson, the scenery is so beautify to see! I'd love a biology documentary for the region. I'd love to meet the villagers too. I've seen some old documentaries of weavers and traditional food gathering, processing for different European rural communities and I love it! Documenting REAL cultural diversity is such a worthwhile endeavor.
I loved watching this ... from Canada. Such gorgeous countryside and the history you can see there. Great format, I'm a fan. 👍 My suggestion for a historical site to do a video on would be Carcassonne, France, home of the Cathars.
I can’t believe someone is sharing these adventures as they happen. I love History Time so I had to try this channel too. Thank you for showing me first hand that inspires you to produce the amazing content on History Time. Your work is outstanding. You are a very likable person as well and your enthusiasm is so obvious. Thank you, sincerely, Charles Williams
I really enjoy both of the channels. I usually have channels on in the background while I do other things but your channels, I am glued to watching them. Very professional, very informative, interesting, and well done.
Very well made video. FABULOUS landscapes, and I like the way you get to see the location on the map. The soundtrack is well constructed too, with judiciously placed music, appropriate and not too intrusive. I like the way it says “Watch out for snakes 🐍 🐍 🐍”. These Welsh landscapes put me in mind of “The Owl Service” by Alan Garner.
I’ve just discovered your channel. Awesome work, I love it! Q. Are you a practising Archaeologist as well as a Historian? Great docos mate. You’ve hit the nail right on the head for me with your channel. Big new fan👍
I climbed this with a late good freind of mine Ste Dow in August 1994 We had another late friend Ste Hempy who owned Nant Farm at the bottom of the hill, We recorded some of the climb on video cam corder & I still have it on a DVD disc I nearly came close to death on the way down as we ventured are own way down & I nearly fell off a sheer cliff edge coming through thick brambles they came to a sudden stop & there was a 50ft drop but otherwise great memories of that Summer trips to Bardsey Island & Abersoch, Aberdaron, Pwhelli Whistling Sands with lot of our good friends from Netherley in Liverpool.
I went up there yesterday with a couple of mates for the annual tangerine eating festival. It’s getting bigger every year! Yesterday was hands down the best I’ve attended. Can’t wait till next year’s!🍊🍊🍊
As an American with Germanic, Irish, Scottish, English, Italian and Norwegian DNA they all come together in the British Isles and then to colonial America and the Ohio river valley. Love the archaeology and history! Great job!
elflikek Thanks! Great suggestions. I’m planning a trip to Anglesey over the summer for sure, and the Yorkshire Dales would be great too. Stanwick is a Hill fort I’d love to visit which is in that general vicinity I think
Pete Kelly sounds great! Another idea (which I haven’t thought through properly yet) is (and I know you’re a writer yourself) “literature in the historical landscape” - I’m thinking about what defensive remains are/were used to give credence to the Arthurian legends, or Merlin, or any others you can think of. I was influenced in this idea by Mary Stewart’s Merlin series which apparently involved a lot of research into the actual landscape. 😄
Pete thank you. My degree is in anthropology, earned long ago in ancient times...and my lineage is partially Welsh thru my maternal grandmother, a Morgan. You have a nice presence and you cut together a good video. Have any surveys or excavations of the fort ever been carried out?
a wonderful location, if you explore further into Wales and into the Shropshire Marches there are some amazing sites. Dinas Bran in Llangollen, Mitchell's fold stone circle and a collosal hillfort found on the outskirts of Oswestry to name a few... the last in particular is a huge site, very well preserved and well worth exploring.
Hallo from Denmark . Yes indeed an amazing New format of video of video . But then again I followed for you for some years Now . And Pete /Mister Kelly what a bautiful landscape there is in Wales . But again Wales , Scotland Ireland and Cornwall are places where British Celtic culture survied the longest . Even though Cornwall in the was taken over by Wessex sometime after the reign of Alfred the great . In the east the britons assimilated themself with the anglo saxons ... They went from being romano british to became germano British . Addapting anglo saxons culture, language , religion and culture a marrying into anglo Saxon families . Within a century of anglo Saxons arrival . It would not be possible to tell briton and anglo Saxon apart in the area that would became England . While in Wales . Ancient British culture and language survied in form of the welsh Kingdoms until the final conquest of Wales by Edward the first . But in the the anglo saxons won a language level . Because english are spoken in modern England , Scotland , Wales and northen Ireland(the uk) and the repuplic of Ireland . While many Can speak the galic British language . Most ordinary people speak english . And because of later British Empire . English was exported around the world to areas like Canada , the United states , Australia , South Africa , New Zealand etc . And sometime during the 20th century english got dominant position as s language on a global level . Here in Denmark . most Can speak english . As it children recive english lessons from an early age in School today . I started speaking english already before I received lessons in School . But because of my autism (I have Asbergers syndrome) . I learned to read from early age . And so by watching english speaking movies and tv shows with danish subtitles . I started to learn english slowly connecting the danish translated word with original english word . So slowly I began to understand the concept of english . So I already spoke and understood english , when I started have english lessons in school. And today I dont wach movies with danish subtitles and I prefer to read the english language books and comics . Besides the history thing . I am huge superhero fan. So read that in Its original . I prefer to shape my own opinion about things . But what an amazing video . You made here . There is just something about your voice thats perfect for narrating these types of videoes . And thats why I enjoy everything you make . I always lean back and enjoy your videoes and listen to that perfect voice telling me about historical things ...
Looks a lot like a slightly smaller version of Tre'r Ceiri, just up the road. I've not yet been there, but might visit it later this year. Seems like a good place to maintain some "social distancing"!
There’s tre’r ceiri hill fort is so close as well, a 10 minute drive from where you were. I’ve been there loads of times and wondered about other near by ones to go and visit. When lock down is over I’ll have to go...
Thank you Pete! These are awesome videos and have given me an understanding of the British Isles. By the way....have you seen the movie "I am Patrick" which was supposed to be in American movie theaters except the Covid-19 virus put a stop to it. Was wondering what you thought about the movie....thanks!
Contemporary archeologists and historians kind of chuckle when places like this were and still are are routinely called a "Medieval/ Iron Age Hill Fort": 1. "Medieval" and "Iron Age" are two distincly different time periods. 2 .Its actually just an old large human settlement (or proto town) on a hill with a fence around it, mostly to keep their animals from swanning about outside at night . But "MEDIEVAL IRON AGE HILL FORT" sounds much sexier and will get more hits and likes on TH-cam than "a very old human settlement on a hill with a fence around it". Old line from a Western movie: When the legend becomes fact-print the legend."
As a kid my family used to stay in Edern for about 3/4 summers in the 60s, we stayed in a house owned by a family called Roberts who worked for the forestry commission if memory serves. They stayed in the back of the land in a smaller cottage at the rear, they were lovely people and we would visit each other when we were there. At the bottom of the hill was a pub and if you turned left you came to a butcher who had fresh meat killed daily at a slaughter house near a stream that ran near by, we would watch (my sister and me) the animals being killed and butchered and when this happened the stream ran red with the blood. Turning left after a couple of miles you came to Tudwieliog and a really nice beach near a caravan site. Turning to go up the hill you eventually came to a place called Dinas where again we stayed for a couple of years when I was 8/9 years old. At the evening time we would drive to Morfa Nefyn and walk along the beach to the Ty Coch Inn and along to the bay that had the lifeboat and then along the tops by the golf course back to Morfa Nefyn. I remember my father making kites from bamboo and newspapers pasted with flour and water and we would fly them on the cliff tops. My memories of this time are vivid and happy ones, some of the best in my life. Well I don't know why you left but I hope this finds you, and you are in good health. Cheers.
The Lleyn Peninsula is called so because it was the men of Leinster that settled the area after the end of the Roman empire. Before this a people called the Gangani lived on the peninsula. They were related to a larger group of Gangani that lived in Ireland. It is possible they were ruled by the same Royal House.
nice vid man! I could tit for tat about romans but meh you do well in not making claims. I'd love to see you check out Maes Knoll in south Bristol. very very little is known about it but it's the start of Wansdyke. It also interacts with the standing stones at Stanton Prior- you can see both from both sites. I think both could have been built by the same people, be interested to see what you think!
Could the fort have been occupied by Cadell Ddyrnllwg? He was pushed out of Rhos and Gwynedd by Irish pirates. His grandson was the inspiration behind "Arthur". Vortigern invited mercenaries from Galloway, a warlord and his sons, who usurped power over Gwynedd and Powys once Vortigern died.
It would be interesting if you took a look at the work of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. The Welsh are descendants of Troy the Khumri and the Colbren alphabet and language are the remnants of this history.
I hope to come someday and in Greece and if you choose it make your trip this summer or the next one when the Holy Ancient City of Eleusis near Athens will be Cultural Capital of Europe.
This land has been inhabited since the Neolithic and iron ages, there are Roman remains here, Briton remains there...now I'm going to eat a sam'wich; I ate it, and it was nice...
I don’t think the Romans managed much headway into much of North Wales, despite having settlements along the coast. The Ordovices tribe, who occupied modern day Gwynedd; including the Llŷn, were never taken into the influence of the Roman Empire.
Looking At the surrounding terrain it's no surprise there isn't any evidence of Roman occupation. It looks like this sight would have been used primarily as an early warning outpost. Great views, but no long term sustainability. Love your content.👍
ADVISEMENT MY SON: Hope you have emergency items with you, like water, bandages, high calorie snacks and things to support a splint if you sprain an ankle or wrist and oh a radio, a satellite based GPS locator, b/c not every place is connected. If not, in future then? . . . because no one can see you after sundown.
One could say farming and agriculture created civilization. But realistically people have been scorching earth and moving to greener pastures. That seems to me.th3 key to civilization spreading . Not innovation and knowledge but as a reaction to depletion of key resources and fu to get resources like some sort of disturbing perpetual motion of destruction. And here we are . No.where left to run
The dramatic tone of voice is really off putting. Snakes in England?? What adders? I live in Australia now and you're lucky to see a snake but they are proper dangerous. Never saw an adder and i lived in the countryside for 20 years.
Apparently, you weren't a Boy Scout, listen up, one must carry a hiking stave for these outings...the thought of common sense comes to mind. A possibles hiking pack would set our mind at ease with you.

Have you been to Dinorben hill fort? A comparison of Dinorben and Guan Boduan would be interesting.
Please come and see spetisbury ring, much less known than maiden castle/badbury ring.
I only live 8 miles from Garn Boduan
Have you thought of visiting castle ring on Cannock chase, there is an iron age fort there, and the site Henry11 hunting lodge

My kinfolk AKA Jenkins clan rest here somewhere!!!!!😍
The walls appear to be knocked down, but not pilfered as with other sites near farming settlements. Perhaps a degree of reverence?
Bon voyage, dude!
How about Skara Brae and Maes Howe in the Orkneys next?
I gave it a like just because snakes and also great history content!
Was that area heavily forested in the past?
I'd like to see you do a walk with Randall Carlson.
Wish I could've been there with you.
We got one by us in south Wales but nobody seems to notice or care.
nice vid man! I could tit for tat about romans but meh you do well in not making claims. I'd love to see you check out Maes Knoll in south Bristol. very very little is known about it but it's the start of Wansdyke. It also interacts with the standing stones at Stanton Prior- you can see both from both sites. I think both could have been built by the same people, be interested to see what you think!
Have you been to Hod or Hambledon hills? Worth the trip.
Could the fort have been occupied by Cadell Ddyrnllwg? He was pushed out of Rhos and Gwynedd by Irish pirates. His grandson was the inspiration behind "Arthur". Vortigern invited mercenaries from Galloway, a warlord and his sons, who usurped power over Gwynedd and Powys once Vortigern died.
It would be interesting if you took a look at the work of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. The Welsh are descendants of Troy the Khumri and the Colbren alphabet and language are the remnants of this history.

@@PeteKellyHistory How much piracy could be done in Currachs and Coracles? I think it's tale that's been exaggerated a bit over time.
Plenty. Boats get people from A to B.
The dramatic tone of voice is really off putting. Snakes in England?? What adders? I live in Australia now and you're lucky to see a snake but they are proper dangerous. Never saw an adder and i lived in the countryside for 20 years.

Maybe a story on Baden Powell would be nice, you might learn something!
Britons pete, not kelts. look at the work of alan wilson and you will learn so much overnight.
