Скачать или смотреть Wytham Great Wood, an Ancient Wood and Oxford University Land

Back to the Oxford area but this time with permission to go on Oxford university land! This area has three Saxon charters, links to which are below—

I pose two questions on this walk: (1) is the place within the wood called Radbrook named after reeds or is it red? And (2) does the name Tytan Hylle refer to Beacon hill or Wytham hill ?

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.
