Uffington White Horse Hill in Oxfordshire is a famous landmark beside The Ridgeway and a historic "persistent place" between Wantage and Swindon. But is it easy to park, is it easy to climb, what are the views like and is it worth it? Hedley Thorne once again investigates

That was wonderful. Thank you so much for including Dragon Hill as it is often left out. It's my absolute favourite place and you gave me some lovely views of it. I'm looking forward to more videos on your excellent channel 🙂

Thank you so much! I wasn't very composed when showing Dragon Hill (lack of sleep, out of breath, warm etc) but it is such an important bit to include, my favourite spot too. Thanks for watching

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! It is a place that invokes such wonderful, primitive feelings every time someone goes there, especially if (like you) they remember it from their childhood.

Thank you so much. I am going to start asking Paul to tutor me and see what's possible. The hill is crying out for some Burgundy and a gas stove y'know.

Stunning videography here, Hedley - you’ve captured the beauty of this fantastic place. When I took the Missus up there, I think we drove up that “mountain road” and parked quite high up. It was a really windy day and the car was being rocked. Excellent content again!

I first went there in 1985 on a really frosty day, my girlfriend and I at the time were the only people up there and it was pretty magical. Now go and visit Pilsden Pen for me so I can enjoy it again from afar.

Spectacular!! Excellent production, great intro and outro perfectly combined with the music, well done!! The views over the manger are really quite something and it made me think that after being slain and spilling his blood the dragon lies below somewhere and those are his ribs sticking through. Clearly a Tweed-clad Antiquarian needs to investigate this theory further!! Not sure if you mentioned in the video but is 2 hours long enough to get up and down? Not for me, I always dawdle pretending to take photos whilst in reality having a break!! So now we know where you ashes will be spread, actually I think I might have guessed that, although I do hope you would find a space in a barrow somewhere. Are the views the best in the south of England? who knows, they are spectacular. Amongst my favourites are the views over Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight just as you come over the brow of Portsdown Hill on the old A3, this was at one time the main route in before the A3(M) was built. Great video Hedley, more please. All the best!!

Thank you SO much for watching David, I am very grateful. I love that view from Portsdown Hill - the first sight of the sea always sends makes me sigh. I think you're right- 2 hours isn't enough if you are taking pictures, stopping to read etc. At the same time, if you are clambering over the hill in a breathless manner like I did, it is probably enough. The ideal trip would be to include Wayland's Smithy of course. As for me, I will probably be buried in Marcham, but let's see! Speak soon, thanks again- Hedley p.s. glad you liked the music. I stole the second tune from a Linleys 360 video - I wonder whether Warren will notice.

This side-project of yours is really a good idea Hedley. Although I'm familiar with the two locations covered so far, covering the parking aspect is very useful. Many of the videos you or Paul have produced have made me want to re-trace your footsteps, but looking at the OS maps parking opportunities are sometimes difficult to spot, especially for the less known locations. Recommending paths or trackways up to the Hillfort will add to one's enjoyment. Walk on!

Didcot power station in the distance in the closing shot, also the tower at Sparsholt firs where my parents ashes are spread. To the left of that is where my dad grew up and my grandad farmed the land. Waiting for you to do Blewburton but then again I quite like nobody being up there!

@hedleythorne 3 месяца назад
Thanks so much for watching, all special places you mention. I don't think my influence would pull in many people to places as my following is small (quality over quantity!), and Blewburton is my beloved local hillfort, so may cover that in a future episode.

Absolutely beautiful, there are hills that form a sort of diagonal line across south England, ending roughly at the Sharpenhoe Clappers in the east, presumably the edge of the ice age glacier shelf??
@HillsandHillforts
@HillsandHillforts 3 месяца назад
Thank you. I think so yes, though as they are chalk that would have built them up and later glacial action sculpted their scarps.

Atavistic? You stole that from The Tweedster, didn’t you?! Excellent “review”, but oh… fine as it is, that view across The Manger, eh? The Uffington White Horse is, in my humble opinion, an absolute Work of Art. If we ever bump into each other ask me about Dragon Hill and the narrowly missed case of champagne challenge (o;
