I'm still dredging through the old videos. So many gems with so little views.

Just stumbled across this, very interesting. I grew up not far from here and know it well. The Roman road is more than likely High Street, which is a route that links the fort at Ambleside (Galava) with Brougham, just outside Penrith. It runs along a smooth broad ridge of high ground that reaches 828m at its highest point. My family farm at Hartsop and graze sheep up onto High Street summit. There's plenty of evidence of people in the area long before the Romans, lots of ancient trackways and monuments in this area as obviously you already know. There's a neolithic axe 'factory' in Langdale in the central Lakes and I can imagine axes being taken to the fringes of the high ground for wider distribution around Britain. I've always thought of Junction 40 of the M6 as one of Britain's most continuously used ancient interchanges. The original truck stop! Thank you for this video.

Thanks to you both, how great to see the old Roman road.

Great to see some of the hardcore traces are still there after all this time.

Wonderful landscape with huge skies, loved hearing the skylarks right from the beginning.

Thanks very much Andrew. Beautifully barren out there.

I was actually waiting to see a video of you wondering on wind swept Moors! That it was done w/ strange men just made it all the more intriguing😏

That moor on a foggy day must be almost impenetrable! An interesting walk. Love herdwick sheep, I think they are the ones that are all over the Lake District.

I bet it is a place of lost souls on a foggy day!

You seem to be in the wrong county? Wild and windy moor,Wuthering Heights and as for those sheep,Jake Thackrays Old Molly Metcalfe the shepherdess. Then again all those moors in t north could seem alike to us southerners!! By eke!!

It is a lovely wild and windy moor for sure.

I have a question. Is this public land? I’m clueless if we have such wide open spaces where we can wander without warnings of “private property keep out” without being on state property here in my part of the world. Those beautiful sheep are marked so obviously a farmer puts them to pasture. We don’t really have anything quite like this in my little part of the world. I believe in Canada it’s called “crown land,” equivalent to something like what you have in the moorlands. I’m just thinking could a farmer build a barn, fence in his sheep and stake a claim? I guess I’m just wondering how these wide open spaces are protected. Quite amazing history with the Roman road as well. Thank you. Nice tour of the moorlands.

Moors were traditionally public land - or owned by the King with access for the public. Much was later enclosed and owned by landowners, but public access still granted.

What a wonderfully bleak place! All those millennia of different monuments and structures clustered together and waiting to be discovered. Not sure about Robert's collapsed burial chamber. Francis Pryor's books should help with understanding such landscapes.
