- In the Summer of 2020 I went looking for myths and monsters in the Peak District. This is what happened. Let me know what you think.

A very fascinating, beautiful part of your ancient and honorable country. I really enjoyed your presentation and narrative. Those incredible historic sites were just magnificent. Just awesome! Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!
I used to live on Stanton Moor. Beautiful place. Doll Tor is my favourite stone circle of all. It just has something very special about it. Modern witches still worship there to this day, often you will find offerings left by them.
When you release two videos about the search for ancient Britain I'm fairly confident you didn't find it in at least one of the videos ;)
should watch and see what he did find tho :) its a lot more interesting than yours and even my comment :)
Your witty foray into British folklore and its cultural impact (Hound of the Baskervilles) is entertaining and informative. You are doubtless aware of 'black dog' legends that occur worldwide, an example of one being The Dogman craze in the U.S. (Beast of Bray Road, etc.).
Wow, Pete, you've outdone yourself with these two videos-- the cinematography, scenery and especially your storytelling are wonderful, capturing all the mystery, legends, mythology and history of these places. The obvious depth of your research is impressive, your narrative spellbinding. These open an important window to England's ancient history, especially for those of us who depend on you to take us there. More, please!
great stuff,Pete! I might go re-read the Tolkein classics.
I absolutely love your videos!! But, then, I love ancient history 😊
Beautiful! Someday, I hope to visit that area!
Edited to add:
Your telling of the history of the area is amazing, too! Thank you for doing this. 😊
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you, Pete.
I dont know the area or history, but at the beginning part of your video,the landscape looks & reminds me more like an very small so i would imagine to be a very old worked stone quarry?
Lol didnt get past the opener
Wow great video
Great video, beautiful brilliant place
Boys that was another great video
The stone circles had to be for Entmoots. It is the only logical explanation. But on a more serious note great video as always. I love starting my morning with a new Pete Kelly/History Time/History of the World video. Makes my day 100%
If you watch the Blood of the Travellers it's about the DNA of gypsies in Ireland trace's them back to iron age nomadic tribes that brought Horses to Ireland and about how they got there nicknames Tinkers over making tin/ iron. There DNA goes back. It's interesting. Loved the video please do more about uk mythology
All this stuff was here millennia before the Roman's., the Saxons and the peoples who were to become the English. So, why is this regarded as English history. This is ancient British indigenous history.The English have only been here for 1500 years.
So people who aren't into history can understand.
Whoa two videos at once.
It’s a good day!
I live in Warminster, Wiltshire, about 2 miles away we have a stretch of road called black dog hill, that has very similar legends to the ones mentioned, this stretch of road thou, even now claims around 3 to 4 deaths a year. At the top of the road its called "Dead Maids", and its has been known for years as an accident black spot!
Yes! Finally a new Pete Kelly video
The beauty *shows him filling at least 2 diff alcohol drinks* 🤣
I must say Pete, I think you are one of the best narrators I have heard for a long time.
You creat an amazing creative story around everything you are narrating.
It's a pleasure listing to your stories of history.
Thank you x
The intro in this is hilarious!! Lockdown feels! Found your channel, sticking with your channel!
Well done again Pete. I was just thinking that all podcasts I view are from england. Why would that be?
Almost like he's southern 😜
Thank you Pete for another superb video (been to the Scilly and Orkney Isles with you), love the narration and filming. I could easily while away hours without even sensing time go by. Keep up the good work !
I like how you did this one man. Great job
We need to create a myth for recording the events of 2020 in story form
10 ya I named my wolf hybrid pup Woden. He is now 170lbs. and not overweight according to his vet. I expected him to be the All Father of a sled team. He was so aggressive he had to be cut, no puppies for me. He is still aggressive to some people and all dogs that don’t bow to him. What an apt name...
O to be able to wander around this beautiful island again. Great work as always.
Sounds like memories of the Heruli to me. The Heruli thought of themselves as "wolf-warriors", consecrated to the early Germanic wolf-god Wodan.
The second form of attack, which the Roman historian Tacitus described, is that on darkest nights (probably just after the new moon, for both practical as well as religious purposes) the Heruli would paint their bodies and shields pitch black and then sneak into enemy encampments, slaughtering them in the ensuing pandemonium, and blending into the darkness, "a shadowy, funereal host" as Tacitus calls them.
Would love a long form video on the Heruli. It's a rabbit hole you'd enjoy if you haven't digged into them yet.
They sound like they could have inspired tales of the Wild Hunt too! Or perhaps the rituals before their attacks evoked Wotan and his terrible host?

Horses were present in Britain before the arrival of the Beaker culture. Pre-domestication wild horse bones have been found in Neolithic tombs of the Severn-Cotswold type, dating from around 3500 BC. Before that Horse remains dating from 10,500-8,000 BC have been recovered from Sewell's Cave, Flixton, Seamer Carr, Uxbridge and Thatcham. In addition, remains dating from around 7,000 BC have been found in Gough's Cave in Cheddar.
@@lostinthought475 : Absolutely right. Artefacts from Doggerland (the submerged area of land once connecting Britain to the European continent) indicate a vast array of fauna existed and thrived there, everything from Mammoth, Mastodons and Wooly Rhino, through to Horses and Giant Elk. Seems the landmass was a bountiful paradise for our hunter-gatherer forefathers, for sure.
Love this channel so much. Reminds me of the best parts of classic History Channel/National Geographic with the occasional relatability of "watching Tiger King and getting smashed in the garden".
Getting smashed in 2020's garden has moved indoors for the rest of Winter in 2022. I really appreciate keeping company with your documentaries. Cheers to you mate.
Oh, Oh.The Barrow-Downs were not in the borderlands between the Shire and Rivendell. They lie between the Shire and Bree. You must have been thinking of Weathertop. But Great video as always!
Land of my heart and soul! Thank you!:-)
🙏💜🖖
I don't personally think the black dogs have anything to do with wolves. Certainly in East Anglia they are described as quite large animals and as you know they turn up in churches during thunderstorms! Whatever they derive from it must have been a common myth because its so widespread.
If you go down the road from Stanton moor there is a pub called the druid Inn with a cool spot just behind it
It's called rowter rocks and you will find caves and steps cut into the rocks. Even an armchair carved from the rock. One of my favourite hidden gems.
The sound effects put me right to sleep. I’m not thinking that was your intent, but if you have to have music, your choices should be made carefully.
This should have more views, how many you tubers actually get off their arses? Good story telling Pete.
I always thought it was the called the Peat district 🙈

The moors. Thanks for the trip
Great stuff. As a music nerd, though,one nitpick. The Led Zeppelin track "Black Dog" didn't derive its title from folklore. The name came from an actual black Labrador hanging about Headley Grange, where the band were recording at the time. It was used as a placeholder title for the song that the band ended up keeping when it was completed.
2024 here, its like a fever dream thinking back.
It felt like a dream back in 2020. Now it’s a dream within a dream. On to 2028 and the next dream.
Great work, Pete. Thanks
Awesome videos
Thanks Pete. I took my family to Stanton Moor yesterday after watching your videos. What a magical place. We only managed to do half of the moor as my son is 2 but we are already planning to go back
East Anglia has a wealth of Black Dog sightings
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today??
Well done
Thank you Pete for these excellent videos. It inspires one to explore this great land... when lockdown ends that is. 😉👍
Don’t apologise dude - you are an amazing history teacher & have great talent - just keep at it
Great work Pete. Your videos have helped get me through the lockdowns. I hope to visit some of these sites some day.
same narrator as fall of civilization podcast? yt .. kool
No
@@PeteKellyHistory sounds identical voice mad
Brilliant Pete... More like this ! Thank you :)
Great video of my home shire. It’s covered in snow today 😄
Beautiful countryside. I had always thought The Hound of the Baskervilles story took place in Scotland.
Its set on Dartmoor in Devon.
Have you ever been around Holcombe Hill near Bury
I will take you to some places 🏆
This is brilliant. Thanks!
Lovely landscape.
TURKS!
