I was brought up in Yorkshire and, after a twenty year absence down South, I’ve been back for more than twenty years but I still didn’t know about the Thornborough Henges until a few months ago. I’m definitely going to visit in the next few months as it’s less than an hour’s drive from my home.

Thank you for this interesting short video.

I'm hoping to visit these next week on a hike from Bedale to Ripon.
