Smallcombe (“Smalancombes”), Bath, Somerset and Its Ancient Context: Plus Sun Wheels

I’ve been a bit under the weather so I didn’t get very far in my walk. To make up for it I go into the ancient context of Bath and bung ina few animated maps. This is Smallcombe near Bathwick in Bath, Somerset and it is named in the Saxon charter of Cliftune Sawyer no. 777.
These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.
But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.

Excellent ending there! I really must revisit Bath, it’s been way too long.

Let me know, the Wansdyke needs discovering between the Roman road and the head of Horse Combe
