This area was my playground way back in the 1980's. Parking was free and speed limits were higher most of the time not enforced. This was the best time of my life. I never seen Merlin's Mount. Sidbury Hill always had water around it in winter. When they closed Stonehenge festival the travellers found alternatives. One of the small meeting places was the long barrow. No music or large groups. Just a few gathered there, just a load of candles to light the inside and the smell of "herbs" being smoked outside. The shot at 7:01 reminds me of the Hergest Ridge album cover.

They lived in Winterslow but we would spend the weekend at Crofton on the Kennet and Avon canal and help with steaming the pumping engines. Now that would be a good day out and I would love to see it in action. Cheers, ride safe. RM

Great video Charlie, loved it. Reminded me of when my brother and I visited Wiltshire and Salisbury 15 years or so ago. He was going through a really tough time (messy divorce) and I took him away for a few days just to let him clear his head. We visited lots of the burial mounds, stone circles and chalk horses (and Marlborough) and also drank far too much ale and whisky. It cheered him up no end though!!!!

Great video Charlie. Avebury is a place very close to my heart. Did you know that at silbury hill at sunrise on the spring equinox if you stand just over the fence from the car park you can watch the sunrise in a perfect trajectory from the base right up the side till it literally looks like it's shooting out the top!. I believe it was built to literally mark the equinox?. Also another place to go if you get the chance someday is up to windmill hill. The number of neolithic barrial mounds is quite staggering but even better is you can see for miles out across the whole Avebury landscape.

Thank you for the lovely video, it’s worth remembering that most of us don’t have to travel far to see some beautiful places. Thank you as well for being a responsible drone pilot, one of my pet hates is the number of KZbin content creators are not. It seems to be fashionable to fly a drone when and wherever they chose. Not only is this bad practise which could be used to tighten the drone regulations even further but as influencers they are encouraging others to fly where they have flown. One word of advice… take notice of what your app says, do not rely on the DJI controller’s information. If I power up my DJI controller in my house it informs me that there are no restrictions and that I am clear to fly. That is a lie. My house is under a no-fly zone. Looking further I discovered that the DJI controller only comments on airspace near to airports and has no data for other no fly areas. DJI now realise that it is not a good idea to give out false information and are supposed to be changing the wording to be a reminder to check your no-fly app or map before take off. I’m looking forward to a lot more videos now that the sunshine, longer days and warm weather are returning so please keep up the excellent work.

Stunning and entirely different prospective than any other.. I'll give the benefit of doubt on 8 Horses, aerial and up close, I'd say only 7 Horse and 1 chalky Giraffe. A ride out would be to Uffington White Horse and Dragon Hill. Elsewise chalk figures you'd need to venture over into Dorset, n' Cerne Abbas Giant.. Roger sure took to have a bit of a Gallop.. where he'd take a girl.. Long Tom 8' 3" in o'l money..! thing about portals.. like sheep, Ewe.. Hey Ho. Stay safe. Cheers

Charlie, what an interesting video (not that ANY of your videos are less than interesting!). Good to see around your local area. It was disappointing that the wind was too much for the drone, as it would have shown the horse very well from directly above ... you'll just have to return on a quieter day 😉I'm fascinated by the history surrounding standing stones and we have many here in Scotland too. Take care 🤗

Hi Charlie. Its interesting, i think most of us neglect to explore what is right on our doorstep,we all tend to go further afield. I was born and brought up on the edge of The Lake District but spent very little time exploring what was so nearby.😢 Your mini tour shows some of what is all around you and there was plenty of interesting things to do and see without going too far from home.☺️ Not managed to get far yet on the bike here this year, the weather in Northumberland isnt playing ball yet☹️. 🌧️🌧️🙄

The history of your area is rich, Charlie, and sharing it with individuals who would never have the ability to see and participate from their own homes is absolutely huge. I have learned more about Great Britain 🇬🇧 than I ever actually knew because you have taken the time to educate us. I am baffled when you are resting when you are sharing so much with others. 😊🙏🫵 Looking forward to seeing Black Betty!

Great video Charlie, when I lived in the UK (Christchurch/New Forest area) Salisbury Plain, before moving to Spain, was one of the areas which always 'called me' for a ride on my bikes. Avebury IMHO is far better that Stonehenge and its still free with being able to still touch the stones. But although visiting the West Kennet Long Burrow on many occasions the last time was rather unnerving for me, the other people who were already inside when I got there left whilst I was probably where your 'New Age' girls were and it left me alone inside. At first nothing happened but after a few minutes of being alone a terrible fear came over me and I had to get out immediately. Yes I am slightly psychic and can feel 'the other side' at times but that felt like pure evil, something I do not want to know again. But as I said earlier, loved the video, first time I visited all those sights was in 1956 when my uncle drove our family, in his little Morris 8 car, around the area, everything was free and completely accessible in those days, except the little museum at Avebury, very 'dusty' as I remember it. And vehicles didn't need MOT's they came in during 1959, a lot of cars etc went to the scrap yard after that, my uncle's included 😢 By the way, the Uffington White Horse is probably the oldest and original one, plus opposite is where St George killed the dragon, on Dragon's Mount, must be true as the grass will not grow on that spot where its blood was spilt. Maybe another trip and video?

hackpen hill is where i see a ufo come from deep space zig zag down until it was about 500 feet away no sound but the light was so bright it lit the area up like daylight then we see it go straight up punch through the atmosphere and cause about 1000 mile wide lightning and the ufo was in the centre then it zoomed off out into space going the same way it came in we were all gobsmacked , in the 90,s this happened and in them days you never see many people up hackpen this is sad now because theres way to many humans up there now been ruined , its the best place to actually see blck triangles going overhead you will see them if you go up there late on a clear night , best thing is a lazer pointer to shine it under neath the black triangle i have no clue if there ours or not.
