Epic Adventure to Sniggs Alley & the Oldest Pub in England (4K)
Great walk to find a location from best-selling author Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books nestled in the Chilterns countryside close to where Pratchett grew up - and also my childhood home. Sniggs Alley is a place in Ankh-Morpork on the Discworld. It's also an ancient footpath that runs from Loudwater to the village of Penn in Buckinghamshire. Our quest to find Sniggs Alley starts in High Wycombe and we walk along the A40 London Road to Loudwater before walking into the Chiltern Hills. We then turn towards Forty Green, near Beaconsfield, where Terry Pratchett grew up. At Lude Farm we pass the field where a B17 bomber crashed on 12 August 1944 www.pennchurch.uk/tomahawk-warrior/

    Loved this walk, John. I think I walked a small section of Sniggs Alley 3 years ago. Happy memories of walks with my grandfather during the 70s and 80s: Lude Farm, Forty Green, the Royal Standard pub, and the paths back to Beaconsfield new town. Seeing this video was a trip down memory lane.

    the scala showed 'a clockwork orange' against kubricks legal request and he sued them and won. he got sick of the british hating the film. that's why the film is still banned (in uk only) by kubrick today. hope this helps.
