    Happy memories of me, my wife and Ben our dog walking all over the Dorset coast. Those days are all gone now, but still the memories.

    Excellent video as always. Have you noticed that many churches have different shaped windows. For example, in the church in this video, some windows are arched and some are pointed arched.

      Thank you. Yes, there is so much variety in the architecture of churches in the UK. I find that is what makes exploring them so interesting.

    I hope Logan got his Cameraman's Assistant reward at the S&Q Dave. It really is a spectacular stretch of coastline all the way from Kimmeridge, right around to Durlston Country Park, perfect for spring/early summer (strenuous) walks. All good for the body and soul.

    Hi Dave. I discovered your videos a couple of days ago and have binge watched several of the Dorset ones. I was born and brought up in Dorchester, but I've been living (and working) in Spain for 40 years now. Get back to Dorset at least twice a year and you've inspired me to get out and about there following some of your walks. Thanks a lot for the history of a wonderful county.

    Brought back lots of memories for me from walks in that area. I spotted canon from the cliffs but never been down to it. The sea thrift was looking very pretty on the cliffs there at Seacombe too. Loads of interesting information in video too. Thank you.

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  Рік тому

      Thanks Jean. Yes, it was quite a climb down (and back up) to check out that cannon!

  • @madgardener5820
    @madgardener5820 Рік тому +1

    There IS a canon!! About 15 years ago a small group of us went to the Square and Compass in Worth Matravers. We were celebrating one of the lads' 40th which coincided with the Pumpkin Festival.
    Heavily intoxicated we then went for a midnight stumble down to the cliffs, I fell asleep on a mound in the quarry. I have a clear memory of a canon but none of my mates could remember it and we concluded that I had dreamed it.
    I've never made it back to check but you've confirmed it for me. Thank you Dave.
    Ps drunk by cliffs is a bad idea.....😮

    Lovely day for a walk at Worth Dave. I grew up in Langton, the next village down the road. I went to school with someone who lived in one of the coastguard cottages. I didn't know about the Allan Williams Turret - I must go and see if I can find it. This is Rob from The Country Traveller. I've set up this channel 'Living in The New Forest' to try and get more traction behind my 'New Forest' videos, which aren't getting enough views. I'm friends with you now on this new channel :) All the best, Rob

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  Рік тому +1

      It was certainly an undulating walk! I am not sure of the reason for the closure of the quarry .... it would not have been an easy way to take to the stone away (by sea) so maybe it had something to do with cost?

I will have to check that one out some time! Thanks for the information.
