[@craigwatson9320]

Ahhh the yews get everywhere 🌟

[@dizzyden1]

Brilliant again! You even made our local rag The Derbyshire Times Sept 12 2024 with your video 👍🏼

[@IckeWalks]

I've made it mate!

[@tassie2348]

Gareth, I really look forward to these walks. I miss the UK.......or should I say, the old UK. Much love from Tasmania ❤

[@IckeWalks]

@@tassie2348 thanks!

[@IZingari]

Another gem of a video , i don't know how you find these places , but I'm so glad you do , keep on truckin' good buddy 👍👍

[@jamieohara4325]

Literally live 10 mins away from this place and never knew it ever existed. The sheer amount of history on our doorstep that we bypass every day is unreal. Another top video Gareth! Keep them up!

[@IckeWalks]

@@jamieohara4325 it's incredible isn't it?

[@Billynoarms]

I agree. The history is amazing! And hugely ignored. Just looking at the os maps you can discover so much. I'm in cornwall and it's crazy how much stuff is under our feet. Easy to loose yourself and imagine what it all would have looked like. These short videos are great!

[@ttbboo66]

One thing you didn’t mention but is worthy of such, is the Norman "zig-zag" design on the walls, most noticeably at 4:28.

[@KarenL810]

A real gem of a programme, and not too long either. I probably would have scrolled past if it was 20+ mins. However, I'll look out for you again. Keep up the good work!

[@skinsuit2000]

Cracking video!

[@MissyMadge]

A tiny little nugget of tranquility within the hubbub of the major motorway. You don't get them very often. Shame you couldn't stop the traffic Gaz.

[@IckeWalks]

@@MissyMadge it's lovely.

[@LeiceExplore]

Nice little vid once again Gareth. I’ve been to a few of these old abandoned graveyards. A ghostly reminder that what seem like problems now, really are not.

[@IckeWalks]

Aye, it's a reality check.

[@Traveler13]

Wow great video, i have heard of Lund in passing but didnt realise there was anything left, a must visit for me, nice one

[@IckeWalks]

@@Traveler13 thank you!

[@janyb1907]

Ive always been interested in graveyards, especially really old ones..

[@bubbagarland]

Cheers Gareth, I love watching these, I live just up the road in Leicestershire. Your presentation is mega professional, keep up your great work.

[@IckeWalks]

@@bubbagarland thanks a lot!

[@bubbagarland]

@@IckeWalks No probs, I enjoy your bros interviews with your old man too, and obviously all his magnificent work over many years. David talks about everything being inverted but strangely has never touched on Earth being cellular concave, Earth houses the entire universe, see my avatar. I have known and studied this since 2014. My tutor on this topic was Steven Joseph Christopher, his animations of reality are astounding - the US government killed him.

[@claireg1717]

Hi Gareth, I find it really interesting looking at headstones in graveyards, I think it makes us stop and imagine the hardships they may have endured. It was really great to meet you today in London too, thank you for chatting.

[@IckeWalks]

@@claireg1717 was lovely to put a face to a name! Traffic was murder getting in and out!

[@claireg1717]

@IckeWalks we came via train yesterday and stopped over. Had a fab day today, seeing all of you.

[@callumtew2693]

Hello Gareth really nice video really relaxing I will look forward to the next one take care peace and love xx

[@IckeWalks]

@@callumtew2693 cheers mate x

[@alfaubrom]

Hayup Gareth those entrance sones either side of the chapel door looked very ornamental an also like they’ve been turned on their side? On the subject of road traffic years ago I’d be cycling back from Bournemouth heading towards Salisbury after a night on the tiles, an I’d take refuge in an old wooden bus stop with a proper bench seat kinda half way home especially if it was lashing it down, at two or three in the morning they’d be minimal traffic then the post came off the Railways an on to the road an you’d get lorries an big vans every 20 minutes! so no chance of any kip, I’d just get up an cycle on the backroads it was a most noticeable change.makes you wonder how much could be put back on the tracks?! Cheers

[@IckeWalks]

@@alfaubrom that's quite a cycle after a few beers mate!

[@alfaubrom]

@@IckeWalks yes an all done on cycles dating from 1900 to about 1950, a few I still have the best riding being a 1939 Sunbeam X RAF iblsey an Stony Cross high geared for Aerodrome use, the need to cycle arose outa last bus was 10.45 which I kept missing for various reasons an sleeping on the beach cliffs or random rooftops ok in fine weather, not so in other, so I took to the 30 plus mile cycle, every Friday an Saturday night, for years, rather like your Walks it’s amazing how much you can do if you stick at it and are driven it became easy I knew every divit in the road, that was the hard part the monotony you gotta alter the route, hour an a half there 2 an a quarter back even did it with a girl on the handlebars which entered in to folk law amongst those I knew, most of it done without lights that saved my life more than once! the trek stopped actually 8 miles shy of Salisbury but still a jaunt, after midnight.if only the trains had been still on could have caught the night mail.! I’ve hardly cycled for ten ish years it’s a shocker getting steadily back in to it, gotta be done though. Keep on Walking an Cyling it’s a great thing your doing kept us going last winter especially the wet feet welly’s this year? or them rubber ankle boots err there a bit granny aren’t they high time they became cool again perhaps. Cheers

Nice one Gareth , I visited here one evening in the summer, one of those few days that yellow thing was in the sky 😅 In a way it's good that not many people know of this site, apart from the motorway, which by the way, isn't always that noisy at night lol The house was last owned by a local GP who sadly was the victim of an assault in his house by some burglars, the downside of living in a house in an isolated area. The road originally went to Palterton , a village atop the hill near Bolsover, but the M1 dissected it. Fun fact, one of the "Roly Poly" dancers used to own that house too 😂 I didn't realise what is left of the church was just a part of the entrance... did think it's a bloody small congregation 😂

[@IckeWalks]

@leegreveson I didn't know it was there either! It was Google maps that sparked the interest as I noticed some buildings. Awful about the GP. Some nasty people about.

[@leegreveson]

Revisited this yesterday, I don't think this ever was a larger church, the far wall was a window wall and either side doesn't show any sign of a doorway. I think this was always just a mortuary chapel as part of the cemetery. Probably needs further research. Suspect that house was also built before the motorway, not a pleasant place to live as the motorway noise in the daytime is horrendous 😮

[@ttbboo66]

⁠@@leegrevesoni think you’re right Lee, the picture at 4:22 looks more like an illustration of the current church in Heath rather than what existed at Lund before.

[@gilesestram]

I always could see bits of buildings and bits of old road all around J29. Wasnt aware of the Graveyard, though. Nice.

[@IckeWalks]

@@gilesestram cool innit!

[@Lordofkentucky]

I like your videos.

[@IckeWalks]

@@Lordofkentucky thank you

[@61shirley]

We’re finding Roman and medieval coins all over Huthwaite and Tibshelf. You should get a detector and come out with us. We’ve got so many permissions it’d take a thousand years to do them all

[@IckeWalks]

That would be amazing!

[@61shirley]

@@IckeWalks a couple of hours here and there through the week. Sometime we take a packed lunch and make a full day of it, all seasons. You’re more than welcome

[@IckeWalks]

@@61shirley I'll hold you to that mate!

[@kasiamudlark]

Can anyone with a metal detector join you?

[@61shirley]

@@kasiamudlark I don’t think I’d be able to take a group of people but a couple of us won’t annoy the land owners. There’s only two of us but we go on group digs on historical sites with other detectorists

[@stevenberryhill9209]

Can’t believe you didn’t use your super Gareth power this ONE time to stop everyone driving for our benefit! Guess we aren’t that important…;-). Thanks for the look at a time past.

[@IckeWalks]

​@@IckeWalksThank God for that. I know her heart's probably in the right place, and I admit she has made people sit up and think, but boy is she annoying!

Laaa ooo nnn dé, is probably more like how it’s pronounced

[@seanp8220]

maybe getting rid of cars is a good thing after all.

[@RaggyAl1971]

Please do not fly your drone over public roads,especially the M1,it is against CAA regulations.

[@IckeWalks]

@RaggyAl1971 my drone is less than 250g. Always keep it way way above and never bring it up or down near the roads.
