    Cool video, nice footage... there is so much more history about that place, especially dragon hill. One of the most legendary places in England. Thanks for making this :)

      @@mikebogatyrev3058 it is the birth place of the creation myth of England, about about a king who rises from the dead. A complex story, but I'll tell on my channel in the next few months if I can

    Feels so different during this time of the year due to the bare trees with not a single evergreen in sight - I visited it during the summertime last year when the stay local was lifted
    The music used in this video is sick - love it

      England has a lot more to offer than just London, Bath, Oxford and Cambridge - just like with any country, going off the beaten path is where the true magic is

      Thank you Thad! It’s so tucked away that even when Anna told me how to get there, the signs told me where it is (vaguely) and so did the satnav. I still had to ask the locals 😂

    Mystical landscapes and a fascinating story. In such a populated country it is strange to see the place where only sheep are grazing ...

      Thank you! It really is a very very remote place. We had to walk for 30 minutes to get to the tomb. Pretty amazing!

      @@mikebogatyrev3058 plus there are fields that used to be villages and nature has basically reclaimed the space after the demolition. The total population of the UK may sound big but group them into family clusters and add flats/high rise buildings - this is basically 'compressing' the amount. The whole invention of flat towers was to store the 'working age' ppl for major cities and towns

    The Uffington Horse is the oldest chalk figure we know of and is thousands, not hundreds of years old.
