    I lived in Lambley until I was 18, we spent every spare minute down the Dumbles playing in those streams. The viewing point above the waterfall is known as Monkey Island. Very many happy days down there, this was lovely to watch, thank you!

    It was like a hidden magical kingdom (particularly the eerie tree and bench!) Thanks so much, Ant - and glad to know that I am not the only one that gets furious over dog poo bags!

    Well,Ant. You have done many fantastic videos (GCR-related, Mapperley Tunnel,Suburban Railway amongst them), but you might have just topped them all.
    As a kid (back in the mid-late '70)s, I used to go down to the Dumbles via a footpath off the top of Spring Lane (near Middlebeck & Spring Farms).... and walk down to the Dumbles....very little of the details remain in my addled memory cells, but you have just made a 57 Yr old feel young again😅

    Used to live in Lambley. I spent lots of time sat on that bench by the tree listening to the sound of the waterfall when I wanted to escape from the world and find a little peace.

    Quite often walk from Gedling country park through the Dumbles and on to Lowdham or Woodborough - very nice in the spring for the flowers - the primrose seems to be Lambley's symbol and there are nice ones around there in spring. Bluebells good too in season.

    Thanks for a wonderful video. I've lived in the Carlton, Arnold,Mapperley area all my 63 year's and never knew about this great little ancient area . I always thought that the dumbles meant the area of gently rolling hills between lambley and Mapperley top . I will definitely be going for a look myself, maybe after a heavy rain fall when I'm sure it will be quite special.👍🤓

    I used to live in Calverton just over the hill and walked my dog all around the area. There’s lots of walks with quaint little streams, fords, bogs and all manner of interesting woodland around the area. Also would be worth looking up the WWII crash sites at places like Calverton, Farnsfield and Annesley that all have commemorative plaques.

  • @philwesterman5304
    @philwesterman5304 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video (will be walking there soon!), but just to correct you - the dumbles were created by meltwater from a retreating glacier, also the streams don't split but converge and head downstream as one. Much of the land around Nottingham was where the glacier covering the upper half of England got to before the temperatures rose and the glacier retreated leaving many millions of tons of stone/gravel which had been extracted leaving hundreds of lakes/pits around the Trent valley area.

    Even though I'm English by birth and early childhood, the term "Dumbles" eluded me. I'm from London, so I had to look up the term. It's a Northern and Midlands term, more specifically:
    [...]
    There are fine examples close to Lambley and to the south of Southwell both in Nottinghamshire where the clay bedrock plateau made up of Mercia Mudstone is dissected by a number of streams, forming steep sided, wooded valleys.

      I think they are assuming that just prior to the end of the ice age, 10,000 years ago Nottinghamshire was covered in ice. It wasn't, by that time the only ice caps were in the Scottish Highlands, the Lake district and to some extent in North Wales.
      Nottinghamshire was once covered by an ice sheet but I think you are talking 100,000 years not 10,000.
