WALKS IN DORSET at ABBOTSBURY, CHESIL BEACH & ABBOTSBURY CASTLE (THE JURASSIC COAST) [4K]

This is another video in my series “Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the village of Abbotsbury (7 miles South West of Dorchester) and explore the iconic Chesil Beach. My 6 mile circular route starts at the Bullers Way car park on Chesil Beach (about a mile to the South of Abbotsbury). After a stroll along this impressive shingle beach. I head inland along a footpath that takes me up to St Catherine's Chapel which is perched high above the village. There are some super views to be had up there – looking over the Swannery on the beach as well as the remains of World War Two defences (including a number of pill boxes). After a look inside the chapel, I head down in to the village to look at the church, the Abbey remains and what is thought to be the longest thatched Tithe Barn in the UK! I go through Abbotsbury (stopping to pick up supplies for a picnic) and head uphill again to get to the South Dorset Ridegway. Again I get to enjoy some stunning views and can see as far as the Hardy Monument in the East. Continuing me journey Westwards, I explore Abbotsbury Castle (an Iron Age Hill Fort) before descending down to the settlement of West Bexington (passing by the remains of some limeworks in doing so). My homeward leg takes me Eastwards, back along Chesil Beach where once again I discover more World War Two Pill boxes. Although it was a fine day, it did get a little cloudy & hazy at times which did make the film appear a little "dark" at times. There was also a strong wind, especially on the beach, which did come through on the audio from time to time - I hope this does not spoil your enjoyment of the video. Map courtesy of Google Maps.
