Today we are in Symondsbury, Dorset, and we explore Hell Lane and Shute's Lane, 2 ancient Holloways. These sunken paths have been etched into the landscape over centuries.
In this video, we'll delve into the history, mystery, and natural beauty of these hidden routes. From the eerie quiet to the whispers of the past, every step will take us deeper into the heart of Dorset.

This place looks like it would be beautiful in any weather. Obviously so because it looks like a challenging day but still beautiful. Enchanted.

Hi Sam, What a great find, I've driven by, and visited Bridport, many times if only we had known, would have loved to visit those holloways. Last time I was in the area we stopped by at Cerne Abbas, I find these hill figures absolutely fascinating I'm not sure if they exist anywhere else in the world. I have seen the Nazca lines which are very similar but not carved into chalk. Maybe its not right but there is no denying that some of the carvings were really excellent, no graffiti too. They are really so deep I cant image how or why they were made if they were not natural. Some very strong wind to contend with on the way too, that will have blown out the Christmas cobwebs if there are any left!! Great video, well done!! PS I used to go School at Springfield School, its not an uncommon name in the UK but over here it always raises a smile when I tell people!!

Hi David, thanks! It was indeed a great find, and if you're ever in the area, Symondsbury have free car park, facilities, and maps! Easy to get to the Holloways from there and they are really worth a trip 😊 Very glad you enjoyed the video, thank you and have a great week! 😁

@@SamWalksALot Forgot to mention but there is (or maybe was!) an excellent site called hillfigures which was quite comprehensive, its not working at the moment, hope they can fix it, well worth a look

Thank you! I'll definitely have a look 😊

The Shute or Shutt family are distant Norman ancestors of mine. The Shute family were given lands in Devon by William the conquer. The name is supposed to mean archer or lane.

Oh wow! There's a Shute village close by too...

Fantastic video, thank you! How long did the walk take roughly please? 😊

@SamWalksALot 6 ай бұрын

Thank you Gemma! The circular walk from Symondsbury via Hell Lane and Shute Lane is approx 2 hours, if you want to add Colmers Hill it's only an additional 15 minutes. The Symondsbury gift shop gives out free maps with all the routes. They're lovely!
