Description
Hello and welcome. I'm Paul Whitewick, I seem to have developed a passion for making short films about the Landscape here in Britain. My passion for abandoned Railways and Canals soon spilled over into Roman Roads, ancient trackways and countless stories I can tell as I walk the Landscape. I have a degree in Environmental Science, but thats about it, other than a pair of decent walking shoes! I am a wannabee archaeologist who loves telling the stories I learn about week on week. So if thats your thing, click subscribe and I'll see you in the next video.

I climbed to the top of Silbury Hill in 1983. It was a few days before my 20th birthday, and something I had always wanted to do. It was very quiet at the top, and the view was phenomenal. I sat up there for about an hour - I didn't want to come down, if I'm honest. It's a beautiful enigma.

In summer 1978 we visited London, listened to our guitar hero Eric Clapton in the Royal Albert Hall and spent one night with our tent in the middle of Stonehenge.

We used to have wonderful school history trips in the 1970s. In one day we would try and do Uffington Castle/ The White Horse, West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill and Avebury or Stone Henge. Great fun. They were all impressive to us schoolboys but Silbury Hill was particularly mysterious and of course enigmatic.

I was involved in the 2007/2008 archaeological recording in conjunction with the conservation work. It was by far the most exciting and important archaeology I've done in my career. There are of course far more than three phases of construction, I think the ditches alone showed almost 20 phases.

In the 1970s this was a popular destination for school trips. Tens of thousands of school children have probably clambered up top. Same thing with Stonehenge. I went there on a school trip when they were just stones in a field, you could walk up to them and touch them.

I was visiting from Canada in 1977. When at Stonehenge my lady friend and I went to the Stones and caressed them. We lay on the grass with our heads pressed against the stones and dreamt of ALL THE LIFE that had passed that way before us. At least until we were shooed away. It was magic!
