WALKS IN WILTSHIRE at BERWICK ST JOHN (4K)

[@stina6762]

Dave . It’s always easier to beg forgiveness than seek permission! The folly is Shaftesbury greenstone by the looks of it. I have dug it out of a little quarry off the A30 further along towards Compton Chamberlain, also it is/was ? mined at Chicklade . Another great video. I’ll be the tall woman on a motorcycle that accosts you for a badge one day! 😅

[@marcogerlach1648]

Hey Dave! Thanks for this great new video! It's always a little holiday following you and Logan.😌 I don't know how many times I said to myself in this video: "Wow, I'd like to take a little break and try to capture the scenery. I'm already looking forward to the next video! 😊

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Marco. :)

[@davidberesford7009]

Hi Dave! I saw that depression in the side of the valley, and thought that's a "coomb" Then you used the word yourself, and I gave myself a metaphorical pat on the back. I am still wondering how they are actually formed. Keep on Keeping on!

[@royyoung3104]

[@daz9100]

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Susan. Yes, my throat is much better now.

[@charlesfulcrum3170]

Hi Dave, great walk once again. I know the Chalke Valley well and have sat on that bench on a many an occasion, taking in the views without a care in the world. Great to know you are also a fan of the late, great Jack Hargreaves.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Charles. Yes, I love watching Jack's episodes.

[@LynnB_Ky]

Another lovely walk Dave and Logan, beautiful Church and stunning views. I'm the proud owner of one of those badges too 🥰

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lynn. Oh yes of course ... from one of Kevin's walks!

[@Frances-m1h]

👍🐕‍🦺, great video, nice area, went to a fete there years ago, from Frances Highcliffe Dorset

[@DaveFord]

Thank you :)

[@yvonnefarrell1029]

Brilliant walk, as always. I am sure Logan appreciated the whippets on the tiles in that magnificent folly. Thank God that, unlike "Richard Bucket" on "Keeping Up Appearances", you did not have to climb trees to find Iron-Age remains. Thanks again and cheers.😊

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Yvonne. It is a fine Iron Age Hillfort there for sure!

[@geoffw8565]

Great video Dave and such wonderful lush green countryside. You wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world than the English countryside in late Spring /early Summer ?

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Geoff. Yes indeed ..... lots of colour and not too hot either.

[@newforestexplorer]

What a lovely walk and that little folly was a nice find

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. The views on that one were amazing!

[@markshrimpton3138]

Another splendid walk. The folly might have been of fairly recent construction but the tiles on the floor upstairs gave the appearance of being late medieval. I love quirky unexpected finds like that.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Mark. The folly was quite intriguing - I would love to know more about it's history.

[@keithjoseph5671]

Amazing walk in the countryside with wonderful views and trails

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Keith. :)

[@baileybelleuk]

Love watching your videos, very enjoyable and relaxing, they give me and my dog ideas for our next walks, keep up the good work and Logon 🐾🐾

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. I hope that you have good weather when you get to follow some of the walks. Thanks for watching.

[@cathpeterson1944]

I love all the scenery hills and countryside, so neat to see the century road in Jack Hargreaves series I watch his vignettes they are so interesting too; luv the archway Tower fort spectacular views from the tower

[@DaveFord]

The views from both Winkelbury Hill and White Sheet Hill in particular are quite stunning.

[@jeanblemings5352]

That was a magnificent church at the start. The font was unusual with colouring on the stonework. And the flaming cross window you pointed out. Lots of antiquities along the way too and I loved the herepath. Some nice shady stretches too for you and Logan. Did you not fancy a paddle in the stream too at the end?!

[@DaveFord]

I would have had no problem getting IN to the stream but it might have been a struggle getting OUT!

[@melissaphillips3088]

So glad you are feeling better Dave. Just a lovely walk and gorgeous views. The village and church is so beautifully quaint and full of history. I love it. You are so lucky to get to see such beauty. Thank you so much for a wonderful walk. Take care Dave and give Logan a hug from me. ☀️

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Melissa. The climbing of those hills was worth it on that one, for those views!

[@IngridKelly-ze5os]

Love your walks. I watch as often as possible. Thank you for bringing the English countryside to me. I live in Kauai, USA.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Ingrid & indeed thanks for watching.

[@lynnesears6254]

Another nice walk with some great views and special finds! Logan got tuckered out!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lynne. There was a fair bit of climbing on that walk for sure!

[@bosse641]

Lovely area for a walk. 🙂

[@DaveFord]

It is lovely around there John.

[@AnyoneForToast]

"Slightly older viewers may remember Jack Hargreaves" Well, that made me feel old, Back in the days of only three tv channels And no Mr Logan to take us on internet walks...

[@DaveFord]

Ah yes, 3 TV channels..... and no remote control!

[@RickySpencer-l8k]

Hi Dave love ur videos here in Jamestown Va where the British arrived so long ago.Just wondering I see some many streams in your videos that are very clear was wondering are they actually clean enough to drink from. Know it’s a crazy question just wondering cause they do look like they are very clear

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Ricky. Many of the chalk streams are indeed very clear and in general are fairly clean. Indeed there are still a number of working watercress beds on some of the streams (clear & clean water is vital for their growth). The filtering effect of the chalk makes their waters alkaline and very clear. While less than a fifth of England's rivers are considered to be healthy, the fast-flowing, naturally alkaline waters of the chalk streams are a rare source of clean water. 85% of the world’s chalk streams are in UK, lying in many of the southern counties of England. Although water from the chalk streams is generally safe, you should always follow good hygiene rules and be aware of possible water-borne infections - so I wouldn't drink from them myself!

[@RickySpencer-l8k]

@@DaveFord thank you sir👍

[@eldred1809]

Beautiful countryside Dave, lovely walking area. Still a little croaky, I was always told that's due to drinking out of wet glasses. Any chance that's the cause? Hope you're fully recovered soon. Only ever visited the Talbot once, for lunch about 2 years ago, but I was only driving through, not walking.

[@DaveFord]

Yes, fully recovered now. Had it for nearly 3 weeks - so it has affected a view videos sadly!

[@DaveFord]

The video of the episode of the"Old Country" TV series by Jack Hargreaves, mentioned in this video, can currently be viewed on the KZbin channel "Dave Knowles Filmmaker". Just whizz through to about 9 mins into that episode & you can see Jack visiting the White Sheet Hill Milestone. The link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ6ymZ-qe7topsU

[@icba4907]

Dave Knowles channel for all your jack hargreaves shows.

[@DaveFord]

Yes indeed - Dave has a good selection of old episodes of "Old Country" on his KZbin channel.
