So good to see some of England again and with Tony's down to earth explications. My wife asked me " Who is him?" I replied "It's Baldrick, he's a national institution and beyond reproach" ... more confused looks ..... great work and thank you for sharing it.
No mention of the 'Ballad of the White Horse?!' Seriously, that has to be some of the most haunting writing concerning the Horse, and its scouring! I was waiting for him to quote those opening stanzas!
The trip to the WW2 pillbox was such a nice touch to put things in perspective.
Fast cars, women and megaliths, Keeler had a passion.
I enjoyed this walk immensely. Thank you very much.
Love the walk, the history and legends. Thank you Tony from South Africa
Holy crap! It's the medieval history TH-cam dude talking to him about the horses!
Tony walks the oldest part of the Ridgeway, and in my opinion the best part, but it extends east over the Thames to Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring, and you can also walk west from Avebury to the coast at Lyme Regis along the Wessex Ridgeway.
Fascinating, history seems so much more alive when you explore it this way. I simply love this channel and the way it takes you along as we explore what was, and is today, leavening us to wonder what it will be tomorrow.
Great to see Baldrick's no longer being held back by Blackadder!
Thanks for the matter-of-fact reference to modern Pagans. 😊
I bet when he started his career as an actor Tony never thought his most recognized roles were to be the presenter of historic documentaries (besides the role of Nottingham sheriff that is)
I really like the historical programs Tony makes. :)

Love these fascinating explorations with Tony. Brilliant. Thank you very much!
One of my favorite videos ever ! Thank you so much. I love the walking history tour of the Ridgeway.
“This is his book and in it he says…”
Taking a break from A Hatful of Sky to watch this. I didn't know that there was more than one chalk horse. This must be the one referred to in the book? And it's so beautiful! I still have trouble believing that it's ancient - it looks like like something that Picasso or Matisse would have drawn. Someday I'm going to take this walk myself.
I love history and would love to walk these paths. My bucket list.
I knew there was something familiar with the man. He read Terry Pratchett's Discworld audiobooks, which I grew up with. Man, this is weird.
