So glad this video appeared on my feed. Very comfy, and informative. It's been an age since I visited Cissbury Ring, and I've never visited Chanctonbury, so you've inspired me to make the effort, as well as giving me a new book to read (The Four Men by Belloc). So, many thanks, and I'll definitely be having a look at your channel.
Absolute pleasure to watch and such idyllic landscape food and wine! Your videos are my favourite thing on TH-cam. Seeing those trees on Chanctonbury makes me want to camp/bivvy up there listening to the wind. Thanks for creating these very special films.
It's been a gloomy day with corresponding mood over here, so the beautiful views, thoughts on the history of the place and, in your separate video, ingenious cooking are a welcome distraction, thanks Tweedy!
Always a good day when Tweedy Outdoors posts a video; humour, walking, history, and food my favourite things combined into a wonderful bitesized chunk. Thank you.
I remember the great storm of 87 and we went up to Chanctonbury ring the day after and found loads of Roman items, found a couple of tiles and bricks which we kept
Excellent, a Tweedathon!! Fantastic images of the sky topped off by a perfect sunset!! What a great walk this was. I worked for many years in Worthing but I was commuting so never got to know the town or surrounding areas very well, Cissbury ring really is very close too. The two rings command the north and south so I think you're right about that ridgeway. I think the cows were hoping you'd open the gate for them but you took the wise option to let them have the space. Some quality editting I liked the floating Tweedy gliding over the map👌👌 Bad luck missing the train by a minute. I'm off to see what you had for tea!!
Thanks David - it's a small world! I've never spent any time in Worthing other than passing through on the way to/from Cissbury Ring so I don't know it at all well either. The museum was quite nice though. Glad you liked the map graphics! I initially just highlighted the route of that track with a yellow line, but it seemed like a bit of a missed opportunity when I could do something slightly silly instead.
Hi Tweedy! Thank you for another great video, and in this case a slightly emotional one. A few years ago Cissbury Ring was my daily walk. I lived literally at the bottom of the hill from it in Worthing, on Warren road. The house is now a building site for a new care home. It was a time of my life when some things were good and some things not so good. But that walk and views were a definite positive and created many great memories. I've just seen you've posted a Tweedy Pubs video in Victoria. From the same trip I imagine? Again, mixed memories of that trip up from the south coast to Victoria. And it was lovely this year in June to visit Chanctonbury Ring, the final stop on the way home after a visit to the south west. We didn't find the correct track to the top, so went straight up a steep hill in the woods to get to it! A good test of fitness. Keep up the great work Sir!
Excellent videos today 👏I am impressed with you outside cooking skills and your menu preparation and picking a excellent spot to enjoy your culinary skills 😂thanks 👏👏👏
3 videos! You spoil us, kudos for the Belloc reference, love that walk, very enjoyable watching you perambulate, got lost in the mist at Chanctonbury once.
What a smashing video. I particularly liked the following elements: 1) I got 2 mentions. 2) The videography was superb, really showcasing those sublime views. 3) Lots of great history. 4) Very expensive looking animated Roman soldiers. I want some! 5) A stunning new tweed suit. I want one! 6) A thought provoking interpretation of a Neolithic mine. I want one of those too! Interesting about the siting of that Roman temple in the Bronze Age/Iron Age monument. So many of these. Were the Romano British doing that to assert their beliefs over past culture, or, were they respecting it? Or is it as simple as a hilltop location? I currently tend towards it respecting the past culture and working it into a Romano British belief system. A bit like the co-opting of Celtic gods. I'll no doubt change my mind in a few weeks, though. Thanks Tweedy - this was just the tonic required today.
Thank you Mr WC21! Yes that no-expense-spared sequence of Roman soldiers marching was very much made with you in mind! I couldn't find much info on this "boar cult" that one of the temples atop Chanctonbury Ring might have been dedicated to - I think possibly they're referring to Moccus, who is sometimes cited as a Celtic analogue of Mercury. So it's quite possible to imagine this as the Romans coming along and helpfully Romanising an existing place of worship, upgrading the facilities a bit (maybe adding a gift shop?) and perhaps just giving the natives a gentle nudge towards a slightly different interpretation of their favoured deity.
You also have a good audiovisual storytelling style. I think yours and my instincts that where there is a ridge and somewhere to go to there is a ridgeway, is correct. We might have invented a topographer’s law. Right I’m off to watch your food video
Endearingly modest, as ever, but this was a perfect blend of that landscape and your personality. I am at present drinking a pint of Harvey's Sussex Best in tribute to that combination.
@@johnthursfield3056 nothing quite like galloping across the downs on an unstoppable runaway pony, playing romans and Anglo Saxons , getting to north of Shoreham and east of Arundel, and coming home in the pouring rain, miles from home in Broadwater. So many wonderful years.
I drove through Alfriston the other day, a village I've stayed in mamy times. You could do an 'outdoors' visiting Rathfinney winery and a 'pubs' at the George in the village. Nearest station, Berwick.
I have the foothills of The Eastern Slopes of the Rockies a 3.5 hr drive from me,HOWEVER having slept up on those Downs & schlepped around those villages & in those Boozers I'll never get enough of the SDW 😂
Cissbury Ring is a gem, and yes I agree with the link to Chanctonbruy Ring but they also allow a great walk along the South Downs. Will have to check out the cooking video!
I'm with you on the twin hillfort usage, seems too close for competing tribes and if there was a time gap between occupations I can't see anyone giving up a perfectly good pre-prepared hillfort to make another one down the road. Our ancestors were quite into re-use and recycle. Beautiful views throughout.
Nice new tweed suit!!! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it? You have inspired me to get a tweed suit and I’d like to buy one next time I’m in the UK.
Cissbury ring is definitely more impressive than chanctonbury. I went there a few years ago with my friend. I remember 5 or 6 buzzards hovering in the breeze that was going up over a rocky crest on chanctonbury hill. And on Cissbury fort there was a little hawthorn tree that was adorned with ribbons. In the car park of Cissbury ring there was some really old car from maybe the 1930s all in original condition, inside and out. I would imagine these hillforts would have had beacons on them to set fire to in times of trouble to alert the local people and other hillforts that something was wrong.

Lovely video! Wathcing your videos, I feel almost as if I am walking the paths myself.
That looked a super walk, I enjoyed the video. Now off to watch steak and peaches ?

Looks lovely, im always envious of englands public way paths
Thanks for this video, very enjoyable with great views, you seem to be lucky with the weather. 👍
Good film, thx
Super adventure! Sam Walksalot also just releasedone one on Chanctonbury. Love Cissbury - I too enjoyed a sunset up there once. Rather huge hillfort.
So many gorgeous views from the hill forts and the early fall is such a good time of the year to hiking not to hot and not to cold.

@@tweedyoutdoors I've not heard of the "boar cult", but I do sometimes think they had a cult for everything. There was probably one for trays!

Possibly England's shortest ridgeway but a ridgeway nonetheless!
Perhaps your most stunningly beautiful video yet - so many memorable images.
Thanks Simon! The landscape is absolutely the star here - all I have to do is spend enough time in it and try and keep the camera roughly level!
Endearingly modest, as ever, but this was a perfect blend of that landscape and your personality. I am at present drinking a pint of Harvey's Sussex Best in tribute to that combination.
A most enjoyable and charming video ..Thank you Mr Tweedy.
Thanks Phil!
I used to ride all round there ooo sixty years ago! Fantastic!
So did I in the 70's 🙂

Ever thought of sleeping overnight on Chanctonbury Ring? I have read that people who have had some weird experiences up there.
Cissbury ring is definitely more impressive than chanctonbury. I went there a few years ago with my friend. I remember 5 or 6 buzzards hovering in the breeze that was going up over a rocky crest on chanctonbury hill. And on Cissbury fort there was a little hawthorn tree that was adorned with ribbons.

Dark ages 🤣 I'll don my helmet
You need to be a little less polite with the cattle Tweedy...they're somewhat thick-skinned 😉
