The Ridgeway Mystery: You NEVER knew!

Video Description

Go find the route and details here: http://greatchalkway.org.uk/ and: http://icknieldwaypath.co.uk Welcome to this weeks video which takes a look at how Doggerland and how the shrinking ice during the Mesolithic may have influence the Ridgeway and its formation. We also take a look at the Great Chalk Way. A new route lauched in October 2024, combining some pre existing national trails and pathways. The route is 400 miles long and takes you from The Wash all the way to Lyme Regis. *To be very clear, the views represented in this video by me, are indeed my own little theory and do not nessecarily those represented by others in the video.

Usual notices: 1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits. 2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found: Errors 1. My graphics always need improvement, so the examples shown of the maps from doggerland are essentially me drawing them, and not intended to be wholey accurate.
