Picnic at Cissbury Ring

- This is the first video in our Picnic with the Ancestors series so please grab a nice cuppa and join us for a little journey up to a Sussex Hill Fort. We start with one of our local sites Cissbury Ring in Sussex. It is a wonderful place with a long history of human use from the Neolithic to the present day. We didn't really plan what we would talk about so ended up chatting about the site itself, as well as magical tools, rituals and other things. Enjoy the journey with us around one of our favourite places. Sadly we didn't realise that Damh's camera settings were not quite right so this video is not as good quality as we would like, but the next ones will be much better, we just didn't want to waste all the film.
A long, deep breath of peace, thank you both and thank you Oscar, you are a Good Boy, so precious! 🌳💚
We certainly have no shortage of sacred spaces here in the USA, but as an OBOD member i always enjoy seeing the sacred sites of the UK. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
How can I possibly express how much these walks with you three beautiful souls mean to me? Thank you, from the bottom of this wee bard's heart.
Dave, Cerri & Oscar, really loved this picnic at Cissbury with the Ancestors. Thank you both for your wisdom, teachings, music and musings. So special to hear your personal stories too. I had no idea that wind farms are no fishing zones and have become teaming with wildlife. It brings such hope. Simply Magical listening to you both reflecting about your personal experiences. Cerri I laughed so much when you randomly picked up the worked flint at the exact moment you were talking about them. The views all around are beautiful. Great filming and loved the text information added. Really enjoyed every moment of being guided around such a special place of history and interest. May The Green Grimoire, two Druids and a Dog have many adventures ahead. j
OMG I adore you two. Thank you for adding Oscar!
So peaceful to watch. I watched this just before bedtime an had a lovely sleep, unlike the night before. Thank you both and fur baby, of course❤
Damh and Cerri are two of my very favourite humans. ❤
My sister loved this place so it was good to see it again. Her ashes were scattered there at dawn some years ago in recognition of her attachment.
A beautiful sojourn, and I'd love to visit there someday from the US. Damh and Cherri, you are a perfect pair, and doggie makes three!
Okay so I found myself having one of those mercury is in retrograde kind of days, and then I felt like I fell off my axis, and then I tuned into this video. Such glorious trees! If you can imagine an older woman clapping her hands in delight at what she sees, that would be me when I watched this film. Thank you for drawing me back into the world of wonder with this gem. Sometimes we all need a nudge to remember what's important. Thank you both for letting me visit a land I thought I could only dream about. Personally I liked the cinematography. Well done. Bless you both, and of course Oscar too. Looking forward to what's coming next.
What a truly excellent video. A Sussex Exile here, now living on the border of Co. Clare and Co. Tipperary in also beautiful Ireland for the past 15 years.
So good to be taken on this journey with you. I grew up in Hastings, then lived for 28 years in North Sussex - Horsham. These places were ‘ just down the road’ so to speak.
I was thinking about the Downs yesterday, listening to this on the old AirPods about a place I knew well whilst picking Irish blackberries.
On Monday it will be 15 years since I moved here and in a couple of weeks I will, somehow, be 66.
The timing of this was just perfect.
Wonderful. Thank you both…well, all 3🐕. /|\
Thaky you both so much for taking us out for such a lovely adventure! Really enjoyed this, it felt just like we were there by your side. Looking forward to the next picnic with the Ancestors 🥪🍎🌼🐝
I love Cissbury. Glad you druids visited. It's certainly a magical place.
Glad you mentioned Herne. Thanks for the stories and the nature and history tour.
Thankyou for sharing. What a wonderful, truly layered place, a cauldron of tales and memories. Listening to you both discuss your experiences and connections seems like an invite to walk those songlines with you. With much gratitude 💚
I so enjoyed this video... beautifully filmed, informative, good banter, and very moving too. You're right about poor wild fruit harvests. Most of the brambles in the deliberately left wild areas in the local cemetery are small and not ripening properly. Looking forward to your next video Cerri & Dave💜💫
I felt like I was sitting under the Oak tree with you both, thank you so much. Can't wait for the next one x
Cissbury has felt like home to me for many many years, we watched the solstice sunset set there this year, it truly my happy place. Watching this put so much love and joy in my heart
Omg I loved this ❤. Wish I was there. Cerri your right about the hawthorn berries & water lol. Oscar is like come on already lol. It's stunningly beautiful I'd sit under that tree 🌳 any day. Firm believer in the Fey I am. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. I personally would love to see more like this. I'm sure Oscar would love it too❤
Feel blessed to have walked and shared your picnic (and the buzzies) with you both and Oscar. Loved the stories you told and turned my grey cold Saturday into an adventure. Thank you
Hello from an island surrounded by the Salish Sea, USA. Thank you for sharing your journey, thoughts, and knowledge. Absolute pleasure. 🙂
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing your journey, picnic and thoughts with us, felt like I was ambling along with you! Much needed after a day in the office! 😊 I chuckled when it rains you say “the ground needs it”, that’s what I always say to my Husband and it’s usually accompanied by an ‘eye roll’ from him saying, “it’s done nothing but rain lately, I think we’ve had enough”! 😂 Blessings to you both 💚🌳 /|\
This was a fun yet peaceful field trip with two of you. Thank you for the chat and the sharing. Very much looking forward to the next adventure!
Really lovely video to sit with, especially on a miserable rainy day. I'm also now convinced I need a drone- stunningly beautiful footage.
Dave, when you got out of your car I was like "My goodness, the man has legs for days!" I'm so used to seeing you on the house concerts sitting in your chair I had no idea how tall you were. And then you said you were 6'3" and had "very long legs" and I mumbled "...understatement..." haha!
I love these videos!
You guys are absolutely adorable! Oscar too! Can't wait for more of these videos!❤
This was such a wonderful video. Thank you both. I look forward to seeing more of your walks.
Love from across the pond Canada xx 🇨🇦
Thank you both for taking us with you on your picnic. Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts, love your “ramblings” 😂 We have lived here for many years now, but never walked Cissbury Ring - I’m inspired to visit now. Looking forward to more ramblings, and fort hills. 💚
Absolutely beautiful place, Can feel the spirit of ancestors just by watching. Thank you both for sharing and look forward to the next picnic.
Blessed be to you both.

amazing!!! i look forward to more places the two of you beautiful souls will show us!!!! )O( peace and blessings to you both!!!
Thank you both for the wonderful walk! It was beautiful!🌞🐝🐞🪲
Thank you both for sharing your journey. Beautiful scenery & wonderful chat from both of you. It was very interesting to hear the history of the place & your personal stories. When I walk in either of my local woods I feel a great connection with the Earth - more so since I have begun studying the Bardic Grade from OBOD. I have recently cut a wand from an oak tree that I passed every day & it just seemed the right time to do this & I thanked the tree for this. Blessings to you both & Oscar. 💚💚✌️✌️
Thank you for taking us along with you. I really enjoyed that walk 🥾 Next time I'll pack a sarnie to munch along with you too 🥪😋
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I really enjoyed your conversation while walking through this beautiful landscape. I am looking forward to more visits to your favorite places. Blessings xx
That was so very fun to go wandering with you folks and Oscar. Loved hearing your stories and seeing what you pointed out to us. Where I live in Central Oregon, the land is so different. You two are the cutest!!! Thank you for sharing with us. Love and Blessings to you and yours.
I really enjoyed this, I’m about a 45 minute drive from Cissbury ring, I must visit one day. Thank you both so much, and Oscar of course.
Woah, I really needed this!! Thank you, lovely couple, (and dear Oscar).
Another viewer here from the edge of the Salish Sea. Thank you for the wonderful journey. Your laughter makes me giddy!

Cerri I am so envious of you!You two are the perfect couple! I love you both but mostly your other half!Dont hate me ,i fell in love w/ him first time I heard his music
Love your chatterings and banter ... thank you guys
This showed up on my time line, just the type of thing I am interested in, good luck, I hope to stay with you on your journey.
The old oak, such a beautiful place 🙏🌳
We have beautiful sites in the states but nothing as spectacular as where you took us. That tree!! I wish it could tell you stories about the land. Thank you for sharing your picnic with us. By the way, Oscar is the perfect hiking buddy. I think he smelled everything there.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Sitting here in my office feeling like I really want to be there. We are in the process of selling up with the intention of moving to East Sussex and I am already compiling a list of places to visit once we get there. Cissbury, Chanctonbury and Thundersbarrow are all going to be right up there on my list. Blessed be /|\
And thank you for the excellent trip!
Wow!! Loved walking with you all today.
You two are so cute together!! 😂
Lovely video amazing place thanks for sharing ❤
This was super! Love to you both 😘. xx
Amazing thank you so much for sharing your picnic
Absolutely breathtaking! Loved the drone shots as well. I especially loved the music in-between the narrative. Really makes me want to hop across the pond and see the lands of my ancestral heritage. Many many blessings to both of you! /|\
Great video ❤, have made the journey once before, a deeply magical place.
Loved this, more please! 😊

Oldbury Hill in Kent is a beautiful hillfort and ancient woodland
Binge watching your vlog😂
My gawd, going up that hill, listening Daves music was brilliant !!
Please make your font larger, and go slower. I have cataracts.
this is lovely, thank you
Great video and such a beautiful place. Thank you so much! ❤
Enjoy beautiful weather
Damh what is the name of the the tune you are playing over this video? It's beautiful I would love to get it on my Spotify playlist!
Damh wrote this music specifically to go with the videos, sadly it is not likely to be available anywhere else. He will be really happy you like it though.
I was going to ask also!
Lovely to walk with you and the ancestors and Oscar. /|\
And I live at the foot of the hill! I do my connecting up there /|\
Also, please kiss that lovely dog on the nose for me
There is no sound
That's odd I have sound. 😒
I didn't have sound at first but I restarted my phone and then I did
