As an American I have always been so intrigued by the ancient and rich history of the UK, the UK is so blessed to have such a wonderful history to look back on. I love all the old stories from the UK, either fictional or actual, they have the most fascinating historical stories. I love the Brits.
I absolutely love this series!! But every show on this channel always gets my attention 😍 Please keep up the great work and thank you for all of the amazing shows 😊
I like this series. A bit more interesting than digging holes for three days, which is also fun to watch. I can really see the inspiration J.R.R. Tolkien must have gotten from his country journeys.
An excellent travelogue connecting aspects of Dartmoor which I have seen or read about separately. The maps and from the air pictures were particularly helpful. Thanks everyone
Fabulous. I love our host. Sir Tony? Is he knighted then? He should be! He's so learned, but down to earth and humble in the face of history. Just wonderful roaming this place with him, I've read about it for years but never seen it. Thanks.
Just as he was about to tell us of the hound and started talking about sir Arthur Conan Doyle and there was all the creepy imagery and music, I received a local news alert about an animal rescue rehabber who was mauled to death by a dog that was found in the everglades 😳😱
40:03 Maybe in the winter months, the pall-bearers would have used a sledge on the snow-covered areas of their journey? Perhaps they only carried the casket in non-snowy weather?
Pixie: Excuse me sir, I couldn't help but notice that your coat is inside out. It would have been very embarassing for you if anyone had noticed. Well, ta!
I read about the abbot’s way in junior high... I’ve hoped to walk it one day but I don’t think it will happen since I’m almost 50 and trying to figure out how I’m going to keep a roof over my family’s head
Impressive that at many of the points of interest along the way there are local guides, ready with artifacts and lore books, to educate the occasional wanderer. Has to be one of those jobs were nearly endless boredom is interrupted randomly by short times of excitement.
I like how 25:00 All people during that age had this mindset "I couldn't measure it, so it must be infinite." Or when they counted more than ten, "they were like 1, 2, 3 .. 8,9,10, many" because they had not adopted/invented math as we know it yet
Finchale Priory is very close to Durham. It is oversees by English Heritage. We from the North of England know that Finchale is pronounced Finkle and doesn’t rhyme with finch! St Godric of Finchale was an 11th Century hermit and is remembered for his kindness toward animals. Several stories recall his protection of the creatures who lived near his forest home. According to one of these, he hid a stag from pursuing hunters; according to another, he even allowed snakes to warm themselves by his fire. Godric lived on a diet of herbs, wild honey, acorns, crab-apples and nuts. He slept on the bare ground. Reginald of Durham recorded four songs of St Godric's: they are the oldest songs in English for which the original musical settings survive.
My ninth great grandfather came from Totnes, near the Ivey Bridge, Devonshire. About a 2 hour walk from Buckfast Abbey today. He was part of the great migration arriving around 1630 to Salem Massachusetts (Bay Colony) and helped John Winthrop to found Ipswich Massachusetts. I can’t find out anything about his life before leaving England.
Does anybody else find it hard to watch these vids? Not in a bad way, just that you keep going back and forth to google earth to view and read about every location mentioned! Just got done checking out buck fast Abby and the town next to it buckfastleigh, now off to view abbots way.
Interesting, how the word lych is found in (almost?) every germanic/Scandinavian language in europe (lik, lijk, leiche,...), but nowadays, the French word corpse (corps) is used. Hasn't Britain been closed off of this part of Europe by the Romans and French for a very long time? These words must be older than the Roman Empire, but haven't changed that much. Correct me if I'm talking nonsense, I don't know that much about British history.

Great host but it bothers me that they touch every single monument. Like i know you CAN but yall should know more than anyone that ya probably SHOULDNT

Lol learn something new ever day. Derwood is a old name for oak tree, so when Endora on bewitched called Darren derwood she's calling him an oak which is a complement in our time. Wonder if that was intentional? So he would be to dum to know he's getting a complement.....sounds like Endora🤣. Awesome show Tony! Love you could watch u all day!?

Tony cuddling the “Hound of the Baskervilles” was the sweetest thing 🥰
English mastiffs are cool...
So adorable
Glance at this comment the moment he's hugging the dog lols
he never changes. the host has such a young spirit. I greatly enjoy this show.

Whiteowl I do too.
👌HERE HERE! DITTO! MEGA DITTO!:-) 💜💜💜
Same, except I am a Filipino..
Lol
Me too. Id love to go there!
Got to love British history and see why my childhood mystery books or at least 1 of then was so good. Got to love history.
Tony's moment with the dog is priceless. 💜🐶💜
The joke Tony made about golfers praying for a good shot at the stone cross cracked me up.
What a lovely dog!!
This is a wonderful episode, I must say one of my favorites of Sir Tony's historical shows. It comes across as very personal, somehow.
The Hound of the Baskervilles is forever my favorite Sherlock Holmes
I can almost picture a series of Blackadder with Hugh Laurie as Holmes and Blackadder as Moriarty.
Stephen Frye as Mycroft and Tony Robinson as Lestrade.
Would be lovely to hike with a mastiff guard dog.
The elderly gentleman bell ringer seemed like such a kindly old soul. Very humble.
Has a diver ever gone down the pool? I wish he had asked that.
It was drained and found to be only 15 ft deep,reliable eyewitness accounts do exist .
Well, that was a welcome surprise on this otherwise humdrum day!
As an English mastiff myself, I can say definitively that we are a breed of gentle giants...
One of the greatest stories ever written. Thank you Sir Tony
I would like to hear the whole song. The Dr. has a lovely voice.
Agreed, gave me goosebumps and made my spine tingle. It was pretty awe inspiring.
here he is singing it czcams.com/video/-3L-kcB2XsU/video.html
@@MJP_985 Thank you. What a voice he has. 🙂🖖💖
Dr. Who?
I absolutely love this series!! But every show on this channel always gets my attention 😍 Please keep up the great work and thank you for all of the amazing shows 😊
Stunning landscapes, would love to visit some day. Old legends and mysteries makes us all so much richer than we think. - Thanks for downloading.

I read this in literature last year, very interesting to learn the backstory!
I love the Mastif I wish I could afford them I would have many.
I wonder what it would be like to live in England around all of that history.
In summer at least, there's nowhere better.
Yes I'd love to go back in time, but with showers and hairdressers please. Lol !!
Try rural...
History is everywhere though. Just gotta look into it
Nice episode, but holy hell the sound was all over the place in this one...
Agreed. Kept one hand on the volume knob the whole time.
Me too. Very annoying but I can’t pass up Tony
Search for the CZcams channel called "timeline" they have some of the original videos and the sound is much much better.
It's called dynamics. No idea what people are complaining about.
History is something which always amazes you and reminds you that what we see today was art and thoughts of people from yesterday.
I truly enjoyed this. The music was beautiful. Loved the sorties, especially Vexana, the witch.
Fabulous. I love our host. Sir Tony? Is he knighted then? He should be! He's so learned, but down to earth and humble in the face of history. Just wonderful roaming this place with him, I've read about it for years but never seen it. Thanks.
I love how it brings history alive!
How lucky are we to have people like Sir Tony who cares about our history and crafts well spun tales to share with everyone.
Just as he was about to tell us of the hound and started talking about sir Arthur Conan Doyle and there was all the creepy imagery and music, I received a local news alert about an animal rescue rehabber who was mauled to death by a dog that was found in the everglades 😳😱
I really like the music at 22:39-23:35 and how it blends in with the sound of church bells.
I think Sir Arthur recognized that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than man can understand
40:03 Maybe in the winter months, the pall-bearers would have used a sledge on the snow-covered areas of their journey? Perhaps they only carried the casket in non-snowy weather?
How can I have missed England? Thank you for the rediscovery of this region with Tony Robinson!
Tony is an amazing host.
Pixie: Excuse me sir, I couldn't help but notice that your coat is inside out. It would have been very embarassing for you if anyone had noticed. Well, ta!
Doesn't Tony like the scruffy look? Lol!
@Susan Farley. Yes my Nan used to say it was good luck, but I never knew why.
I read about the abbot’s way in junior high... I’ve hoped to walk it one day but I don’t think it will happen since I’m almost 50 and trying to figure out how I’m going to keep a roof over my family’s head
I would have liked to hear more as well as his explanation of its history.
Impressive that at many of the points of interest along the way there are local guides, ready with artifacts and lore books, to educate the occasional wanderer. Has to be one of those jobs were nearly endless boredom is interrupted randomly by short times of excitement.
That mastiff is adorable
Hound of Baskervilles's fan here from India, perfectly matching my imagination I had while reading the book
That Abbey is just so close to sheer perfection it made me cry!!
I like how 25:00 All people during that age had this mindset "I couldn't measure it, so it must be infinite."
Or when they counted more than ten, "they were like 1, 2, 3 .. 8,9,10, many" because they had not adopted/invented math as we know it yet
Love you, Tony!!
I absolutely love the music in the first 2 minutes, does it have a name?
Tony Robinson is a good man.
Beautiful song - and he has a lovely voice
Now i know what to do if I ever encounter The Hound of the Baskervilles! Feed him a treat. LOL!!!!
Oh!! Those BEAUTIFUL ponies!!!!
What a beautiful mastif ❤ ( cool video too 😉!! )
That was quite wonderful to see !
I would love to visit there some day 💚
Love this channel, dream life of travel and exploration.
Omg...YES!! THIS IS SOO exciting!!!!
Was Tony knighted? Is he now SIR Tony? He deserves it either way.
Yes, He was knighted.
In another life, I would have been an archeologist
Some of his audio is low. But SO much is right!
I love Absolute History
I would love to see those ancient forests or see an ancient relic from the bronze age
There’s nothing like there where I live
Wonderful! Haunting 🧚🏻♂️
I love all of these videos! I wish I could go and see all of these amazing places! Thank you!
My favourite place. I miss it.
Being a primary school teacher, i am totally up for celebrating pixie day once a year down here in Austria 🥳❤
Beautiful dog the hound the Baskerville scary .
Yay!! Great new vid 👍
Yes my last name is Pool I am from England I have to get back there let’s have a spot of tea☕️
My surname is Ax, can't find the origin!
The Blue Hole in New Jersey has similar tales of being "bottomless".
33:46 He makes her agree with this, then kinda shut her down when she answered what he wanted to hear? Do you find that?
"I have a cunning plan to ward off the pixies"
So warning thieves that there are transponders in the stones, so they can remove them and then steal the stones is prevent theft?!?
Can someone please tell me the title of the music playing in the background at the beginning. Thanks in advance
I don't know the name. But I can say you could try looking up the show / episode on IMDB. If it has it, it should contain all production details.
Thankj.
12:52 =We have a similar belief here in the Philippines except instead of pixies, we say "mga enkanto"...
The Great Grimpin Mire......💔just re-read The Hound of the Baskervilles

Why can't there be this kind of tv in the USA
lovely Peter the bell ringer. hug
Ok, I need "The Old Lich Way" by that Folk Singer. Anyone know where I can find it?

Lych propably origins from the Northens who were a major force in England from 925 to 1066.

i thought conan doyle or whoever just ripped off the legend of the beast of gevaudan
It is almost like stories have similar premises
Isn't Conan Doyle's "belief" more "spiritism" than "spiritualism"?
21:12 Wow --- is that a beautiful face, or WHAT???
only Sherlock book I’ve read, also was just watching the show and love it
16:52 spoiler alert much?
♥️♥️♥️
Great host but it bothers me that they touch every single monument. Like i know you CAN but yall should know more than anyone that ya probably SHOULDNT
You can't tell me this guy is not a hobbit...
The ponies!
Bilbo, is it you?
