Walking The Liberty Trail | In The Footsteps Of The Monmouth Rebellion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2019
- The Monmouth Rebellion, also known as the Pitchfork Rebellion, the Revolt of the West or the West Country rebellion, was an attempt to overthrow James II in the 1600s. The Duke Of Monmouth rallied 4000 plus men, many of whom travelled from their homes in rural Somerset to join the cause.
The Liberty Trail runs for 28 miles from Ham Hill to Lyme Regis, following in the footsteps of many of these rebels. Abbie set out to walk the route and along the way passed through tranquil hamlets, by old mills, manor houses, ancient churches, abbeys and much, much more...

Stay WILD!
My ancestor, Timothy Hawker, was one of those brave men. Proud that he stood up for what he thought was right, despite the odds.
I grew up in lyme regis and have been fascinated by the Monmouth rebellion. I'm now 51 and after watching your video am now planning to do the liberty trail with my wife and daughter although they dont know it yet. Thank you for such a great video it was excellent.
You should be on TV with your own show, really great video!
Yes yes yes..
As much as I loved Julia Bradbury, Abbie is far far superior.
Your narration is so clear and informative, so well presented...makes your videos compulsive viewing, as well as seeing the true countryside of England. Thanks!
This was so interesting, I love the history along with the walking. I'm doing the London marathon in just over 3 weeks. I'm disabled so will be walking it round my garden while watching wonderful videos like yours. Thank q for keeping me going through my training 🙌👩🦯🧚♀️👣
Thank you for the video. My forefather, John Chilcot(t or e) from Stocumber Somerset was a rebel who joined Monmouth. After the rebellion was ended, John was placed into slavery and sent to Barbados.
Abbie I love your videos and I love you too . Keep up the good work. I wish I was with you.
Another great video Abbie =-) ......BTW , did you know you caught a rare glimpse of Bigfoot at 28:15 , he's on the right in the shadowy trees =-P
LOVE Tinker's Bubble too. Wwoofed there a few years ago.
Lovely closing speech Abbie
Every documentary you make is better than the one before. What a story you tell us. I enjoyed every moment. And also thanks to Mr. Barnes !
Abbie your videos are just getting better and better
TV off Abbie on thank you :)
Another great video... you need your own TV series 👍
When I was awaking to the world in my 20s, I always said “embrace the isness of being”. I think you understand and live this. You and I share an excitement for history and nature. It is a rare thing.
What a great lady
Another great video . Loved it Abbie
Me and my dad are walking the Liberty Trail because of watching your video! We are doing it for a charity 7 days ago we walked Ham Hill to Clapton farm and then stopped for the day as we are 2 un- fit people. And tomorrow we are going to finish it 🤞🏻 if we haven't seen a trail sign in a while dad keeps going we're on the right way as I saw that in her video 😆 fair play to you for getting to Lamberts Castle in one day!! Goodness me!
Great trail walk again..thanks Abbie.
Fantastic! Thank you for another incredible hike Abbie!
I loved it! Loved the history, loved the landscapes and loved your enthusiasm. Thanks Abbie!
love all of your videos !!!!!! Keep them going !!
Brilliant! Another lovely video to look forward too. Well done Abbie :)
Fabulous! With thanks Abbie for you wonderful inspiration! ❤️
You live in such a beautiful place, Abbie. Full of history and stunning landscapes...from misty glens to beautiful fresh water locks and rivers to quaint villages. I love your relaxed, informative, and unassuming style of spoken account of the events and history. Thank you and much respect for all that you do.
Abbie another great video thank you your taking me to places ill never get to go to so thank you very much my love
Absolutely amazing history and views, thank you Abbie. 🙌🙌😊😊! My favorite part was the cows following you 🤗🤗!
Great walk, so good the weather was on your side. I have very fond memories of being in Lyme Regis
Super video. Thank you.
Thanks Abbie
Loved this - thank you! I say this in part because I had been to these areas during my UK visit. Stayed at Clapton Farm. I remember getting bottles of milk from the farm, and they had hot air ballooning in the summer twilight up on the hill. Crewkerne and Lyme Regis are places I visited, but you’ve shown me more than I remember experiencing - it was getting on thirty years ago now. I don’t know where the journal is, and before digital photography, prints were at a premium, otherwise I would have a lot more of those memories.
I was really glad you went back to film the end of the trail and the different times of day made it even more interesting. Got to love the ex phone booth being made into a book swap too! Look forward to your next trail. 🥾🥾
Lovely video Abbie and very interesting to see the Liberty Trail as I will hopefully be “running” it in July. Although, for me the journey is far more of interest than the time so I will be taking my time to look out for the places of interest you mention here. Thank you for sharing,.
22 miles & two fitness classes on day 1, followed by 6 miles before lunch (or was it breakfast) on day 2 not to mention producing another great video. What can I say, loved it...…
Keep on keeping on Abbie!
Thank You, Abbie. 👍👏🏾🙂
I enjoyed walking with you Abbie. Thanks once again for showing us a different part of the U.K.
28 miles of real pleasure. Really enjoyed the walk. Lovely film, great camera work, wonderful commentary. Thanks for talking me along.
Fantastic walk going to add it to my list of walks to do. I liked the bit of the video when Abbie was in the Abbey!😀
Brilliant!
Beautiful landscapes and small villages along the way. Love churches, church cemeteries and tombstones. I am surprised how many churches exist from before the Reformation.
Yet another great video, I'm going back to Coniston in Feb, can't wait a walk up Old Man will do me the world of good, take care Abs have a very Merry Christmas x
Amazing beautiful journey beautiful scenes of the early morning sun i absolutley love the videos you share showing the beauty of nature at its very best.. stay safe stay wild 😘
another awesome film!
Thank you
😊
28 miles in one direction is a good day hike right there.. I can manage about 20 before my feet start Noping out..
Great vid as always. 👍
I'd love to see you hike that 650 mile trail Abbie 👍👍
this is amazing mate, Ham hill is 10 minutes drive from our house!!! my dad grew up in montacute too . my mrs , our kids (who are home educated) and I would love to meet up with you for a little mission somewhere, we live in yeovil at the moment but will be moving very soon, one of the best channel on youtube, we never get bored of watching you mate, everything you do is so interesting x
So the house my mum grew up in is in this video, and the house I grew up in is in this video!! My part of the world! (The cheapy ones rather than the posh ones of the well to do folk!) I enjoyed spending the video with you!
Thanks very much for sharing Abbie. It must be fun and relaxing to walk the country side and through the villages. South west England has character. And did I hear that right? Poop Hill?
I appreciate your words at the end. I think about those kinds of things every day but continue to look for answers. At least there’s coffee.
Oh I had to study the Monmouth rebellion as a kid (I grew up in Cheddar, I now live in the Highlands of Scotland) but I didn’t know there was a trail! 😊
28 miles is very good going! Until next time :)
If you ever find yourself in South Yorkshire more specifically the Doncaster area, I would love to bring you one of my homemade walking sticks they're nothing special but it would be great for one of them to go on your adventures with you. ATB
Very interesting Abbie love that part of the country. If you wanted to do the trail over a few days are there camping sites available or would it be wild camping?
Hi Abbie ok well this a new way of giveing us a route/hike to go on .with all this history too on the way
where did you find all this information from ...
As to the end of the route was good to remind me of the holiday my late wife and I had enjoyed for the fist time is a number of years back in 2017 too keep up the good work ps thanks for your email too
Thanks andy xx
Thanks Abbie just takeing each day by day and out for hike tomorrow Andy
You got a new T shirt on there! Xx
How does Abbie get back to her start point on ham hill for her car please
Cool thumbnail
👍👍
fab walk, will try that one myself in spring, thank you. would anybody mind posting the link to where i can buy 1L smart water bottles. ive looked everywhere and its just impossible to find any in the UK
stay wild!
So reassuring that someone so experienced in UK walks can (i) go offtrail without meaning to, and (ii) feels a little selfconscious when walking through farmland and farm buildings. I don't think I'll ever get used to what would be trespass here in Australia. Also, wtf are emus doing in Somerset??!!
The phonebox!
Eggshell is from blackbird ? (Turdus merula)
The egg looks too small for a blackbird and not uniformly speckled. I think it's more likely to be a dunnock
@@tanagerbirder Isn't the egg of a dunnock unspeckled, a bit like the egg of a songtrush (Turdus turdus), but smaller ? Difficult to decide on a film. But Abbie will know it, I suppose.
@@jeanpauldebaene You are quite correct Jean-Paul, that dunnock eggs are unspeckled. However I think the marks on this are from contamination. The egg has been robbed probably by a magpie not hatched as the cuts on the shell would be symetrical and would be circular had a chick opened it. It is also too small for a blackbird which has extensive grey speckling all over it.
@@tanagerbirder And here you are also quite correct, Steve. I have lots of magpies in my region and indeed the specs are contamination. In the wild I had seen it at first blink. Leaves us with the question : the egg of a songtrush (Turdus turdus) ? We can not measure it, but compared with Abbie's fingers (athletic !!), ..... . Abbie, help us out please ! You know the answer
@@jeanpauldebaene The eggs of Song Thrush have black dots so this just leaves us with Dunnock. Interesting discussion though.
That would keep parliament busy....deciding if those major 🐄 farms are indeed cruelty to animals and outlawing that type of "cow farm", especially as the video shows how sufficient the local population already is.
:-)
Poor old Duke of Monmouth. I could have told him that when you're Duke of a one post office town in the middle of nowhere, a rebellion probably isn't going to end well. Wait, you do mean Monmouth, Kansas, right? 😁
