A Shapwick and Spetisbury River Walk 4K

Join me on another amazing walk in Dorset, this time starting at Shapwick and following the River Stour and River Tarrant, taking in the villages of Tarrant Crawford, Tarrant Keynston and Spetisbury, as well as the Spetisbury Rings Hill Fort with its breathtaking views. With two churches, two mills, some lovely meadows, great views and beautiful spring sunshine, this is a walk to be savoured. Hope you enjoy!

On point with this one. The beautiful village of Chadwick, grassy fields, rolling distant views, narrow trails, rail trails, ancient mounds and churches all described with their history. Brilliant

Ah, thanks so much Ian 😀

Beautiful video as always. When was this filmed?
I loved hearing the Cuckoo's. How blessed are we to have this on our doorstep. Xx

[@terryyarrow1230]

Thanks so much Rachel 😀 We certainly are blessed! It was filmed about 3 weeks ago.xx

Thanks wonderful walk very enjoyable

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thank you 😀

I live in a rural country village in Hertfordshire, which has a Mill that was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
We also had a Railway and Station 1860-to-1965. The playwright George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950 was a local resident.

Interesting, some similarities with this walk 😀

[@angelanewman5566]

Brilliant - something decent to watch instead of the football!😊

[@terryyarrow1230]

lol, thanks Angela 😀

[@JeanGodden-e2s]

Wonderful walk, thank you for taking us along with you.

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thank you so much 😀

[@garynorris8492]

We also have a Iron Age Dyke, the long defensive ditch was built by an Ancient Britain tribe. It lays in a wooded area, running along the edge of open fields. It has possible associations with Julius Caesars second invasion of Britain. (54 BC)

[@terryyarrow1230]

Is that Combs Ditch? If so, that features in another of my walk videos 😀

[@andrewmatley7688]

another great walk terry Thank you again.

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thanks Andrew 😀

[@karendavies2074]

What a wonderful walk, I really enjoyed that, from the delightful little churches at the beginning to that lovely bridge. You deserved that beer and it looked so good. I agree with you about grasses 🤗

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thanks Karen 😀

[@andrewharris1837]

Delightful walk with summer having arrived.The swan on the river,with sound of the cuckoo with view down to the old bridge is unchanged for hundreds of years.The old partially restored train station also quite unique so thanks for great vlog😊

[@terryyarrow1230]

Thanks so much Andrew 😀

[@thedorsetdrone]

Another fantastic video Terry, thanks for sharing.

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thanks so much 😀

Glorious British countryside Terry 🧙‍♂ And lovely to hear the cuckoos. Where I live, south of Bristol, I've not heard one for four years, which is a sad indictment of our rural policies I'm afraid. That looks the best "cup of coffee" I've seen in a long time, and it brought back memories of a visit to the Anchor many years ago, one warm summer's evening. How many refills did it take to complete your sign-off? 🍺🍺🍺 Bev

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thanks so much Bev 😀 To be honest, the cuckoo is fairly rare down here too and it was great to hear so many along the river. lol, I only had the one 'coffee' ☕️🤣 Terry

[@LaysAndLore]

That's interesting there is a Shapwick here in Somerset but its pronounced as it's spelt 'Shap-Wick', I wonder if that is to differentiate the two!? Great walk as usual, thank you.

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thank you 😀 I suspect the silent W may be partly historic as most people (not living there) pronounce the W. I’d be interested to know what local residents today think 😀

[@paulyarrow333]

That's a really nice circuit. Am familiar with the places but not the whole route. Will have to give it a go!

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thanks so much Paul, its a great circuit, especially at this time of the year ❤️

[@calxtra5361]

Absolutely gorgeous ... is any of it wheelchair accessible?

[@terryyarrow1230]

Ah, thank you 😀 The old railway line is wheelchair accessible I think, but I'm not sure if the rest of it would be as the paths/tracks are probably not smooth enough.

"The futility of earthly positions "... that must have really cheered the poor peasants slaving under their overlords in the 13th century!

[@terryyarrow1230]

lol, yes, an interesting thought Tim 😀
