I've compiled a reading list of my favourite history books via the Amazon influencer program. If you do choose to purchase any of these incredible sources of information then Amazon will send me a tiny fraction of the earnings (as long as you do it through the link) (this means more and better content in the future) I'll keep adding to and updating the list as time goes on:-

This was so educational. Britain has such a rich and diverse history. She's small but mighty. From New England, thank you.
Well I’ve lived in Derbyshire my whole life and never knew mam tor was a hill fort. Fascinating stuff.
Cracking video! The "Mother " is a special place for me ,after leaving school I spent several years working in its shadow (Blue John Caverns). I've been lucky to have seen her in all weather's, I've lost count of the number of sheep I've seen walking across its face and the number of times the old road has been repaired!
I remember walking Mam Tor as part of a geography field trip. Aching legs, the cold. We were wearing school uniform so hardly correctly garbed for such an exercise. I wish I had your commentary then, I would have found the history compelling, but all I remember now is “millstone grit”.
A masterful report. I've been up Mam Tor many times and I never realised how significant it is. I used to have to visit a company in Wilmslow and my favourite way to get there was from the other side of Mam Tor near where there is a huge landslip through country roads to a little village called Pott Shrigley and on from there. A very peaceful and scenic way to get from the Don Valley to Wilmslow.
Excellent Pete, Thanks.
THANK YOU PETE!!!!!! I have missed rhese kid of amazing stories for a while......they are so very special !!!!!!!
I find the music you use in your videos to be both inspiring and haunting. I’m glad I had the time this morning to watch this. Always a ton of information! Love all your channels and videos
Such beautiful country & full of history. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Great job on the videos dude. If you could find out anything on the Abergwesyn Common I'd be in your debt. It's a vast area of wilderness that stretches between Llyn Brianne and the Elan reservoirs. Super interesting, rarely visited site, chocked full of cairns and large standing stones that there is little to no information about anywhere. There's a massive white (I think quartz) stone that overlooks the Garreg Ddu reservoir that's particularly impressive.
Absolutely excellent editing and story telling , this is so professional
The scenes and narrative makes one think of history, what could have taken place. I would love to visit a hill fort, amazing what it took to build up.
Being from Manchester, I've visited Mam Tor over my Peak District hikes 'career', probably 2010. It actually took my Spanish girlfriend to get me into hiking the wonderful landscapes on my very doorstep! She was into walks and hikes - including doing the Camino de Santiago - and had done a few Peak District walks on her own before I knew her, including Edale. She also had books from the famous walks writer Wainwright (I believe he was called?). How could I resist?! The walk through Castleton to get to Mam Tor is also quite magical, including the old Castle ruins. I remember Mam Tor being quite busy but not anything to stress about. As it was about August, I do however remember the top being absolutely swarming with flying ants which prevent us from stopping to enjoy the scene/have a bit of lunch. But a pleasant hike anyone can enjoy, as it is on the easier side of Peak District walks. It doesn't surprise me it might have been a Celtic Hill Fort and settlement. The views over the surrounding area are fantastic and you also have the mines nearby for minerals.
I can see Mam Tor from my window right now, did a walk from Edale on Saturday. Never knew you were from my neck of the woods.
some amazing aerial views of hill forts. Didn't know that about Breedon on the Hill. As a child I could faintly see it in the distance from my bedroom window and thrilled about the old legend of the devil and the church!
What a strange coincidence… I was literally day dreaming today about Mam Tor, and wondering what role the hill fort played in the ancient times! Wondering about the significance of this location for the Brigantes and other tribes. Then I came across your video! Great stuff!
Hi Pete great video as always.
I thought I was going to see Mam Tor not everywhere else.
Love this place, walked it many a times.
Big UP Derbyshire!!! I'm a Chesterfield lad originally. Really enjoyable video. I didn't know there was a hillfort on the mothers teet either.
