If there is a straight Roman road going past Fosbury Iron Age fort does that mean Chute Causeway-which is bent-has been demoted? Is there any evidence it is Roman at all? We find out in this video. Plus I might be the first person since the Middle Ages to photograph and name the Hermit stone, in Hippescombe, see it first here.
These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.
But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.
