Kintbury (“Cynetanbyrig”) and its Meadland (“Mædwe”), the Meadow Today and Some Gossip, Part One

Описание к видео Kintbury (“Cynetanbyrig”) and its Meadland (“Mædwe”), the Meadow Today and Some Gossip, Part One

A nice walk in the marshes and meadows of Kintbury, looking for that elusive access to the river Kennet (Cynetan in Old English). What is meadow (“meadwe” in Old English) for? I discuss this.

These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.

But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.
