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.

it took your comment for me to realize Baldrick has been informing me about England for the past 3 months... God help me.

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.

I enjoyed this walk immensely. Thank you very much.

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.

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. I've done the whole length (not in one go), and it was wonderful but exhausting.

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 knew there was something familiar with the man. He read Terry Pratchett's Discworld audiobooks, which I grew up with. Man, this is weird.

Always fascinating. Tho wish Tony would come up here to help trace the much-worse old wagon tracks to the abandoned boomtown ruins behind Mt Belmont. Those a mere 140 years old. Um, hope he can ride a horse or offroad minibike.

The editing at 15:20 is pretty rough.

lol I love he has a long history of a friendly relationship with EH due to Time Team but he still has the balls to crack jokes about them and some of their more draconian policies. though I do understand the last decade or so they have relaxed their policies alot from how it was.

Sir Jason! Good to see ya!

weird how theres a million ways to draw/carve/build but seemed to be only few dozen or so styles in ancient days. im sure theres alot i just havnt seen but that horse looks alot like the "stylized horses" from minoans or miceneans i think it was. think (some)old eastern horse art looked very similar, bit bulkier. seems like very similar general art styles all over.
