  • What Is Special About Tyneham? When Is Tyneham Open to Visit
    What is special about Tyneham? Before the Second World War, Tyneham was just one of many small isolated Dorset villages. Its residents led a simple life relying mainly on farming and fishing for their livelihood, oblivious to the future events which would give their home a special place in history. In 1943 the villagers were moved out by Winston Churchill’s War Cabinet prior to the area being used for D-Day preparations. They never returned. Today the village is part of the Ministry of Defence Lulworth Ranges, accessible to the public only at specified times. Just the empty buildings remain, trapped in a time warp that has protected the area from many modern developments that, elsewhere, have changed the face of our countryside. When is Tyneham open to visit? Tyneham and the Lulworth Range Walks are open most weekends and all main public holidays. They are open to the public every weekend with the exception of the following dates: ●19 and 20 November 2016 ●10 and 11 December 2016 ●17 and 18 January 2017 ●4 and 5 July 2017 ●7 and 8 March 2017 ●26 and 27 September 2017 ●9 and 10 May 2017 ●14 and 15 November 2017 In addition to the weekends, the Lulworth Range Walks and Tyneham Village are open every day during the following times - all dates are inclusive: ●Christmas 17 December 2016 –4 January 2017 ●Spring 27 May – 4 June 2017 ●Easter 8 April – 23 April 2017 ●Summer 22 July – 3 September 2017 ●Bank Holiday 29 April – 1 May 2017 ●Christmas 16 December 2017 – 3 January 2018 When no firing is taking place: • The Elmes Grove gate that allows vehicle access to Tyneham is opened at 9am each day and is locked again each evening at dusk.

This Plan will be our view as residents as to how we wish to see our village in the future and will also help identify priorities for WDDC in subsequent revisions of the Local Community Plan and will guide DCC’s input in the county wide community strategy. The Plan will only be as good as the input it gets from YOU – so come along to our Launch Day Event (see box) and make your views known on Community Safety, Commerce and Employment, Health and Wellbeing, Tourism, The Environment, Housing, Traffic and Transport and issues concerning the youth and the elderly of the village. What do you want to protect, what do you want to change and what would you like to stay the same? These comments will help to formulate the questionnaire which will be delivered to every household in the near future. The committee aims to publish and circulate the Plan in March 2011.
