Do enjoy Erwin Saunders content as well Pete but it has to be said that i rate your work here and on History time even higher! Brilliantly written, engaging and always thoroughly entertaining stuff..well done

[@MARGATEorcMAULER]

Love your content.You are a gifted narrator and your enthusiasm is infectious! Thanks P.K.

One of my childhood playgrounds. I used to scramble though the gritstone quarries learning to rock climb and always ended up at Carl Wark to eat my lunch. The whole moor is full of hut circles, standing stones, stone circles, etc and I used to wonder how such a large population used to exist in such a bleak place - I was very young 😂 but it did spur me on to follow my eventual career as an Archaeologist...

[@drock5404]

Pete, you inadvertently gave me the best hours of sleep I have had in months. Not to mention some really cool dreams. Thank you! Your work is amazing.

[@VincentVega-u6w]

He's alright ain't he. A genuine decent man I think.

[@skyedog24]

I've been watching you from the beginning and I would have to say that you sir are going to create enough stir to get something going here. A proper evaluation ✔️👍

[@VincentVega-u6w]

👏 👏 👏 👏 most certainly!!

[@guynicklin1175]

I’m from Sheffield and we walk here all the time, but never knew the history.

[@ErnestoCisnerosRivera]

Incredible work, Pete, as usual when regarding to you. Warm greetings from Izamal, Yucatán, México (the city of three cultures).

[@VincentVega-u6w]

Hello sir From London to you, salute !!

[@elizabethtowers3321]

Yes, Erwin! I haven't gotten a notification from his channel in many months.

[@windows95_de]

Amazing Channel. Greetings from the land of the saxon, angeln and frisians.

[@elizabethtowers3321]

Some of these very large stones/rocks look to be cut and shaped but rounded edges with time and weathering. This place looks very ancient. Those 'tumbled down rocks' look like building material

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

Enjoyed your enthusiasm. You missed the Dolmen by the wall there though. I worked on the Longshaw estate in the 80's. Steve Walker was Warden, an highly educated historian. He was a mine of information to any with an ear. Fox etymology; The tailed one. It's Fox house. 'That old fox the Devil'. The ruins all around tell the whole history of human occupation in the region. The Devil connotations clearly associate the site to Druidry. Steve Walker showed to me on a walkabout of the estate the Pictish scratchings thereabouts which attest to the sacred landscape theme. Also the Christian crosses carved into the less significant altars & the larger alters total destruction in Calvanist times. Stone age, Bronze age, Iron age high groves of the Druids on every edge from the Amber valley to Bleaklow & beyond. Raising cattle & bee keeping + funerary rites practiced roundabout the area for millennia. The very border between The fertile Mercian & Umbric high lands. Means the world to me, I'd never leave the area. Traced my family to the 15th century living there.

Those leaps from rock to rock were glorious. So glad you had the wireless mic for that.😅

[@johnphillips4708]

always excited to see a post here, thanks Pete, wishing you the best!

[@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods]

Another great video, Pete! You mentioned the extensive forests 2500 years ago - do you know if the moorland around Carl Wark would likely have been forested back then? Are we talking oak forests, mostly? Thanks and greetings from British Columbia!

[@Ed-wm8dx]

Awesome video, thankyou! Merry Christmas

His brother John played for Liverpool as I recall.

[@unclepete2252]

I love Carl Wark, one of my favourite walks round there.

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

Those trees are giving me life, literally and figuratively 🤩

[@gwhite7011]

Interesting thanks, I always used to wonder about Carl's Wark when I lived in the peaks but never went up there.

[@toffthe]

I know the Peak District round Matlock, Curbar, Stanton etc, its really an incredible place and so stunning.

[@ginahamilton7317]

Always enjoy your videos, Pete. Great thought-provoking content and a fabulous presentation style.

[@GHST995]

Wish my waif would explore hillforts with me! Well tbh we explored a ton of Greece together but that was her ancestry!

[@pamelachristensen-cc4ye]

Great work. I have followed you since 2020

[@jimweatherill3363]

Its working Pete!

[@blackthai5023]

very enjoyable vid thanks

[@Muchjoy..]

Good work Pete..👋🙏 Thanks..

[@VincentVega-u6w]

I love thus channel, and i pray and hope, he makes a stack of cash from it. No altered voice ,i,e a stupid weird American computer viice. No an englishman doing incredible history. And i love this channel ,perfect for a Sunday. Quality days viewing!!!!

[@tinkerstrade3553]

Yes, at some point this place will be excavated. And perhaps we will learn things we can't anywhere else. And there's value aplenty in the doing. Yet, I cannot see this haunting place stripped like a mortally wounded soldier. This place still lives in it's resistance to pick and shovel. Too soon the autopsy and reburial, with a bronze marker, an ending unworthy of such an imposing place. What will become of dreams when the last mystery is laid bare?

Where's Time Team when you need them? 😉

[@michaeldixon6545]

I've been there many times and I've heard it said that it has an ancient history but I can't help coming back to the idea that it was used as a place for rounding up sheep prior to shearing. Higger Tor would be a far better place for a hill fort or ceremonial place so wouldn't that have been chosen?

[@julianshepherd2038]

How far do you have to bring water, wood and food?

[@agluebottle]

"Peat District" lmao. Extremely on brand area name for Britain.

[@beepboop204]

[@sc2320]

like it son 💯💪🏻

[@jamiebizness1]

Tiny little trees

[@Headwind-1]

is Carl Wark the remains of a volcano Pete Kelly? . . .

[@littlemouse7066]

why build a stone wall if you used the site for transitorial needs? It's a waste of energy building a wall like that requires a lot of work. And why choose an elevated place if it was simply an encampment for keeping sheeps? Choosing an elevated place suggests a strategic or religious purpose.

Love your work but watch the volume between your vocals and the music.

Hello

[@karlmtinsley8297]

English were not Celts. Typical cultural appropriation.

[@PeteKellyHistory]

Am I an 18th century antiquarian? I think that is what you are implying? It is possible to discuss someone else’s views without them becoming your own.

[@dnavid]

ok up until you started calling the old ones diabolical, more BS Jesus stuff, you rubbished your own video, I'll look elsewhere for information about Carl Wark.

[@PeteKellyHistory]

I spoke of an 1800s antiquary calling them diabolical….

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

_"Ritualistic"_ That standard clueless guess...
