Looking North from The Ridgeway at Chain Hill, Wantage

The River Itchen approaching Hockley Link, Winchester. In the background is the beech clumps on St Catherine's Hill (hillfort). This is a chalk stream river and has exceptionally clear water; a rarity nowadays. HedleyThorne.com

Llyn-y-Fan Fawr and Fan Brycheiniog, a little before sunset.

The Roman building outline on Lowbury Hill above The Ridgeway. Taken today on a filming walk with @annadillon.bsky.social

Hike and camp finished! Phew. Now where can I get a massive lunch...?

It has taken us all day to get up here, but I still prefer this to a hotel. (Llyn-y-Fan Fawr, South Wales)

I partook in a little historic site photography yesterday at sunset over Berkshire. I had a bit of a rush to get out and get airborne but I hope the results will be good.

Sunset on The Ridgeway this evening at Bury Down

The River Itchen flowing past Winchester

Talking to a friend who suggested I start a "Patreon" thing, where I can share lots of pictures, narrated video clips and walks when I go to take my main pictures for here. Is this worth it to anyone? Interested to hear thoughts.

The restored Hockley rail viaduct, with St Catherine's Hill and Twyford Down on the horizon, near #Winchester. The signal is in the "clear to proceed" position with the green lens showing.

St Catherine's Hill, Winchester, rising high above the Itchen Valley floodplain. On the summit of then iron age hillfort is a beech clump and nearby buried remains of a Norman chapel.

Wittenham Clumps, with Castle Hill showing off its Iron Age curves. Have you been here?

The Alton Barnes white horse, galloping out from behind a tree on Milk Hill, on yesterdays amazing photography walk with Sarah.

The magnificant Wansdyke on today's visit. Wansdyke is a huge defensive structure that would have been a kingdom-wide effort to build. (As the picture shows, we can ignore any silly book publicity about it being an ancient canal!)

The bucolic Brightwell Barrow from Castle Hill fort, Wittenham. A favourite subject ot artist Paul Nash. See wew.nashclumps.org

The beautiful Oxfordshire village of Aston Tirrold, the peal of St Michael’s bells carrying over the hills, binding church and vale in sound.

The Chesterton Windmill near Leamington Spa; distant shot.

The Blorenge summit today with a wild fire on the opposite peak, just before setting up camp. Copa’r Blorens heddiw, gyda than gwyllt y tu hwnt. Gwersylla gwyllt gyda’m mab.

Wansdyke (right) and Rybury Camp (top left). Contrary to some recent misinformation, Wansdyke was NOT a canal! (Water tends not to flow uphill, and water levels were never at 300m!).

The ruins of St James church, Bix Bottom, deep in The #Chilterns. Warm walk to get there and back today. Such a wonderful area.

Wansdyke, a giant defensive linear earthwork crossing Tan Hill in Wiltshire. I will be returning here very soon.

Packwood House, Warwickshire. Such a stunning place to visit.
