I was only 6 or 7 years old when I first visited the UK. Hadrians Wall left a BIG impression on me. It was so so old in my mind as a child, much older than anything I’d ever seen in the United States. That was the first time I experienced the vastness of time. History lovers - you know the feeling I’m talking about!
Anasazi ruins did it for me. Some of those tiny canyons in Utah have undiscovered sites. It's pretty incredible. I am fascinated with history.
Exactly what you stated.
Well to be fair almost everything in Europe is much older than anything in the US.
@@j.a.weishaupt1748 fair point, but it's also fair to say it's stupid, dumb, and smelly.
@@GarbagePerson578 You are true to your name
I lived in the UK for many years mostly in Yorkshire and Durham. I've been to Hadrian's Wall and Dere Street. I am so glad that I did. :-)
Nice I want to visit!
My Aunt lived a a place called Bonney Rig Hall near Hexam ,I would visit her and my cousins Francis Victor and Lucas several summers . From the Hall we could walk to the wall that was in the 1960 ies then we moved to Canada .
@@nickking1510 wow! I was born and raised in Maine where I live now so it might as well be Canada! :-)
@@elizabethshaw734 Maine very nice similar to Canada . I drove through that State on my way to Nova Scotia and back I love fishing and we stopped for a break and watched some anglers fly fishing the Penobscot River in Maine unfortunately I did not have a licence for Maine and I had non fisher people with me lolol. Love the outdoors but I live in southwestern Ontario which is mostly farm land but we have Lake Erie and Huron to boat and fish on . I grew up in Maidenhead very near Windsor castle as a boy before moving to Canada . I have alway enjoyed wild places and the natural environment more than concrete and asphalt lolo. I do restore cars and boats as a hobby presently restoring a sea ray and a 2011 f150 to tow it . Once the sea ray is restored I will use it for overnight and weekends on Rondeau bay on Lake Erie. My son and I just spent last Sat and Sun on Rondeau bay and Sunday on Lake Erie it was belated Father’s Day gift from my son .
@@nickking1510 wow you sound like my dad and I used to be! We love to fish he wasn't much at restoring anything but we enjoyed our outdoor time very much. :-). Thank you for making me smile today!
Tony Robbins is 74 years old, as of August 15th. (1946) We can all only hope to be healthy enough to hike as much as he does when we've reached that age ourselves. 👍
damn 74 fo real? Guy's got so much pep in him. What a champ
"Sir Anthony Robinson (born 15 August 1946)"
I doubt he actually walked that entire distance. Did you see any tent on his back, or a backpack large enough to carry several days worth of food and water, or any change of clothes? Most likely he was flown via helicopter to select points along his intended track.
In 2016, I had the pleasure of walking Hadrian’s wall.
It was a true adventure!
I had,around my neck,carried in a little leather pouch,a Roman coin,with the image of Hadrian on it.
I like to think that he brought me good luck,as it did not rain one single drop during my 10 day hike!
I shall never forget that experience.
Also,I found,on the ground,a few little crumbles from the wall,which had those ubiquitous lichens on them.
I took a few(which I shouldn’t have) and to this day,they are alive and well,thriving next to a fig Bonsai in my home,a beautiful reminder,in fact,a part of the wall itself.
6:13 imagine some future civilization finding your old sweaty sneaker and being all excited smelling it
@tom allen Hi Five.🖑
I recommend the "fall of ancient civilizations podcast," on RUclips. It is great cause you can listen to it in your car.
The "fall of Roman Britain," would interest anyone who liked this one.
Just went and followed that podcast on Spotify. Thanks for the recommendation
Brilliant channel
Shoutout to Paul Cooper!
Or as English people say it, "Pawl Koopa".
@@celestialteapot6677 glad people will at least check it out! If y'all come across any great recommendations yourself, please let us know!
I have physical disabilities that make daily life difficult...so I really like finding these hidden gems of content to help me dull the pain, help distract me to allow me to take care of my daily needs, and to entertain!
I wish some of these smaller documentaries would get put onto Amazon video...or the Magellan/ other educational video streaming services!
Thank you Tony for a great video. This will help me with a book I ordered from Amazon, (Romans in Scotland ) Also Love the series!
Amazing! I love listening to Tony and have learned so much. Thank you for putting this series together.
Alright! Going to keep this tabbed for a before bed documentary. A glass of bourbon and a good documentary always seem to do the trick!
Thanks Odyssey.
I also recommend the "fall of ancient civilizations podcast," on RUclips, and other services...
They have an episode, on a topic similar to this one, that you should start with..called, "Fall of Roman Britain,"
I had found and watched it on RUclips, on the "Fall of Ancient Civilizations Podcast," channel.
After you listen to it, ya can check the rest out!
You can listen to it in your car, or when you would normally listen to audio...(like when you'd listen to an audiobook or music/podcast etc.)
It is a great audio only history source.
Same the RUclips channel.."Voices of the Past." Which is narrative audio reading of many primary sources..If you visit that channel, and check out related channels...You can find a few really high quality historical topic channels! All the channels are made by two brothers and their friends...I think.
Either way.. do check it out, and recomend to others!!
Feel free to throw any recommendations you have, towards me as well! :) I have health issues and disabilities...so historical content means a lot to me!
I wish I could find, some great content, from other female history fans...like myself! All I have found is the BBC affiliate female historiacal content hosts. =/
@@claudeyaz history of Rome podcast with Mike Duncan. The entire series can be found on any podcast app, but I chose to listen on RUclips. You can find all the episodes by going going to a channel "timaeus" Cheers!
My dad was Scottish and I was born in America I have spent time in Scotland though. I am so happy to see that someone cares enough to bring it back to what it was! :-)
Excellent as always. Thank you!
The first time I visited Hadrians wall I was absolutely speechless. Spectacular
Tony! My favorite narrator!
I prefer, "Dear Street" Very well done, Tony & Crew
I can’t recommend enough Rudyard Kiplings book “Puck of Pooks hill”. There are three chapters that chronicles a beautiful historical story about a young captain of the wall about a young soldier who lived and fought on the wall.
Wow that space scientist is….. enthusiastic. Never heard anyone talk as fast as her.
You can't not adore the special shade of greenery in the British countryside 😮😮
Hadrians Wall was built to keep the Barbarian tribes north. The Romans sent soldiers to guard the wall and when they stopped guarding the wall the Barbarian tribes rebelled. Boudica rebelled against the Romans in 60 AD and conquered London by 61 AD before being exiled.
In the following years, the tribes ended up chasing the Romans out of Britain.
Hahaha! Well, the actual truth was that the Romans found nothing of interest there. They were very good warriors and were very well organised, unlike the Celtic tribes. In Asturies, for item, there were the best gold sources of Europe and they fought the Celts there... It took them 200 years, losing many battles and it cost them bringing their best legions, their best generals and even the emperor himself and finally succeeded. Their aim was the gold, obviously, otherwise they would have retreated as well. I love Celtic tribes and hate the Romans, but the actual truth is that they were cunning and clever. 😉Please take no offence of this.
5:00 Me and my OCD... All Tony needs is Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner present. The scene in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" where Robin first encounters the sheriffs cousin. Tony happened to find a particular oak tree there...
That title painting is famous. It's of the construction of the Wall, and the Roman soldier is looking down on 2 laborers taking lunch break. It SHOULD have been credited.
omg that lady talking about the stars talks fast! I checked to see if my video had changed to x2 speed lol
Why is Tony walking south at Witton Edge?
Last time I was this early my wife yelled at me 😳😳
I needed a laugh.. that was funny.. thanks
After watching the first 2 minutes, I’m naming my next son Trajan Aurelian Severus!
The Idea was that, the pipesystem was from east, point was that it could be heard on the Battlefield 125db!
Build that wall 🇺🇸
U gotta work on audio.
Similar to the Great Plains of the United States. I grew up there and it seems familiar to me.
Man..I really want a weapon room.
Wall did welcome travelers. The gates were toll passages
The background music is so loud that I can't hear the guy speaking!
Even with Tony presenting it i find this type of program hard to watch now after watching normal folk on youtube, some of them do a great job
If you change the playback speed to 0.75, Dr. Maggie sounds normal (13.29).
That Girl talking under the stars is so god damn high
I can hear the carnyx in my bones
At Luther College wein history we learned about Hadrian's wall but not tho further road.Wonder why that was.History is history.
1900-year-old cow coming for you, Tony, he wants his skin back.
It annoys me that he say that Wallace was Scotland's "Braveheart". That was actually Robert the Bruce, the term comes from the fact that after his death the cut out his heart and took it to a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Never take history lessons from Mel Gibson.
Tony, you know better then that. But I do really like his wanderings even if I miss Time team more.
Did YOu Know, That the Pipes as known in Scottland and Ireland were actually from Middle-East! Pipes can 125db, sama mitä nouseva kotikone saa aikaan.
We owe so much to the romans
What have the Romans ever done for us?
@@marshja56 not never educated on the subject.
Buy and read its history.
The Scot native ecology restoration was being funded in part by the EU. Google it. Let's hope Boris Johnson doesn't cock that up😒
(as was the restoration of the Welsh Highlands walking trails)
of course he will. he hates scotland
LoL the wall couldn't keep 💀 out the Scots. One of my 2 grandfather's was a MacLaughlin. The clan had a chieftain.
He'd probably be ashamed that you couldn't spell the simple word 'Scots'.
If I hear that spurs on the plate story again...lol..... As a descendant of reivers, can I imagine my mother or grandmother doing that?...Actually I can....lol
How did they get a hobbit to walk this journey?
Os escandinavos podiam ter invadido a bretanha na época romana podia ter saído ferozes batalhas mas na certa os romanos ia esmagar os vikings já que eram legioes que conbatian não pequenos exércitos que os vikings venciam quando invadiram a bretanha .👍🏛🦅
Mmmmmmm, those sheep 🐑 look delicious.
As mediterranean I can't understand how you can live all your life without sun light.
That’s why we come to visit you :)
People get used to everything and many already have them in Spain where Adriano was hahaha
@@Rkolb2798They are going to visit Spain where Hadrian was from to invade like Hadrian did hahaha
Britain is losing its cuture
What culture did they have?
Britannia romana
It wasn't the Caledonian tribes they feared, it was the SNP.
Kinda the same 😉
As an American I can tell you: We LOVE our walls! And they're SO effective. Ask any civilization that's built one.
I'm sure the Mongols enjoyed easily SCALING the Great Wall of China . 😆😆😆
G E Not when they cost billions of dollars and are of no use whatsoever.
@@tootz1950 Those are the BEST one's!
Only about 2 minutes of this video are about Hadrian’s Wall. The titles is incorrect. It should be titled “Tony walks up Dere street”.
Just wondering why Tony is wearing a backpack. I doubt he actually walked more that 500 meters. 👎🏼
Can’t England find anyone except an old comedian to present archaeology and history? Seriously?
Doesn't actually begin until 2:20 (ish)
(Everything up to that point is the usual spoilery-ass, totally skippable; "coming up, on this episode of..." crap.)
You're welcome 👍

wow that was some hard core cherry picking history there when it came to William Wallace you left out the part where with just a handful of men he managed to take out an entire English army at the battle of Stirling bridge oh yeah and who won that war we did!
It's crazy how Britain has changed since leaving the EU. Walls!
