  • Jurassic Coast Weekend
    UK Jurassic Coast Weekend Duration: 3 days Stretching 95 miles between Old Harry Rocks in Dorset, to Orcombe Point in East Devon, the Jurassic Coast – England’s first Natural World Heritage Site – is the most geologically diverse coastline in the world. The exposed cliff sections allow you to look back through 185 million years of time; dinosaur remains have been found here, and it’s a fossil-hunter’s paradise. With a more recent history of mining, shipwrecks and smuggling, this is a fascinating stretch of coastline. We take in some of its most spectacular scenery, from the renowned natural stone archway of Durdle Door to the beautiful circular Lulworth Cove, as we continually climb and descend the steep hills of the Jurassic Coast. We camp at a lovely campsite a short distance from our route. DETAILED ITINERARY Day 1: Meet Campsite We meet at our campsite near Wool, Dorset, for a trek briefing, and get to know the rest of the group over dinner and an evening in camp. There will be transport arranged to pick you up from Wool railway station if required. Day 2: Durlston Head – Kimmeridge After a good breakfast, we transfer (approx. 30 mins) to Durlston Head, a Country Park on the cliffs above Swanage. Setting off, we can pause at the impressive Globe, an enormous limestone sphere engraved with an 1880s world map. There are fabulous views from the Globe, which accompany us as we walk west along the hilly coastline.

  • Historic Environment
    Dorset Marine and Coastal Topic Paper Series 2012 Historic Environment The environment has been shaped by both human and natural processes over thousands of years. A wide range of human activities have left their mark across the British Isles. The terrestrial, coastal and marine historic environment of Dorset has given us a snippet of past communities and lifestyles over the centuries. Evidence of this in Dorset includes traces of medieval field strips, World War II coastal defences and historic wrecks such as the 17th Century Swash Channel wreck in Poole harbour. Not only can we learn about past human activity but also about the natural environment itself such as sea level rise and climate change. Dorset’s coastal features have been subjected to many significant changes caused by climate and sea level changes. To study this environment effectively, the role of the archaeologist has been paramount to excavating, studying and recording material. An Integrated Approach – Terrestrial, Coastal and Terrestrial, Coastal and Marine Sites become a prominent landmark for seafarers over the Marine centuries.

  • Case Studies
    6. South-West Heritage Sites - Case Studies 6.1. Identification of heritage sites currently or potentially at risk The task of identifying potential coastal heritage sites in Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset involved three stages. The first of these was the development of a long list of possible sites of interest; these were gathered from a range of sources. First, from studies and investigations by English Heritage and Historic England, such as the ‘South West Heritage At Risk’ report (Historic England, 20151), the Rapid Coastal Zone Assessments (RCZAS) that have been undertaken to date or are being progressed across the study area, the second round of Shoreline Management Plans, and discussions with heritage officers and coastal engineers within the local authorities and coastal groups, together with many other consultees. It is important also to note that much of the south-west coast may have undiscovered archaeological/heritage potential and, therefore, future changes to the coast are likely to expose further sites of great interest. In parallel, a further review was made of reports relating to coastal erosion, cliff falls, landslides and flooding in the south-west through internet searches and newspaper and scientific article reviews. As a result of this wide-ranging research, a list of one hundred and seventy-six potential locations, comprising either coastal frontages or individual sites, was compiled. The second stage involved a review of these sites in order to establish those locations, which were not only affected by coastal risks, but also offered the best range of examples of heritage assets that might be affected by coastal change.

  • Antony Gormley Sculptures to Mark 50 Years of Landmark Trust,” the Guardian, November 6, 2014
    Kennedy, Maev. “Antony Gormley sculptures to mark 50 years of Landmark Trust,” The Guardian, November 6, 2014. Work in progress on Land, Antony Gormley’s work for the Landmark Trust. Photograph: Landmark Trust Five life-sized iron figures by the sculptor Antony Gormley will be installed at waterside sites including the roof of a Martello tower in Suffolk, and Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, next year to mark the 50th anniversary of the Landmark Trust, the charity that rescues derelict historic buildings and restores them as holiday rentals. Gormley has chosen the sites himself for Land, his only new work that will be shown in the UK next year, and is not charging the charity. His sites represent four compass points at the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland, Wales and England, with a central point by the canal at Lowsonford in Warwickshire where the trust owns the old lock keeper’s cottage. One of the figures will stand gazing out to sea from beside the Clavell Tower, high over Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset – a favourite property of the crime writer PD James who often stays there. The 19th-century folly tower was one of the trust’s most epic projects: it was not only derelict but about to topple over the eroding cliffs, and so was dismantled stone by stone and moved inland. Gormley said the figures – like all his works, based on his own body – were lightning rods for thoughts and feelings at the sites. “The sculptures identify the place where a particular human body once stood and anyone could stand, and in that respect they are open spaces empty of content and waiting for your attention.” His most famous work is the towering Angel of the North, but his human-sized sculptures have been as popular.

  • Enid Blyton Trail Dorset
    ENID BLYTON TRAIL DORSET Below them spread the Dorset countryside, shimmering in the heat of the day, the distance almost lost in a blue haze. Five Go Off In A Caravan “I do love the beginning of the summer hols,’ said Julian. ‘They always seem to stretch out ahead for ages and ages.’ ‘They go so nice and slowly at first,’ said Anne, his little sister. ‘Then they start to gallop.” ENID BLYTON Enid Mary Blyton was born in London on 11th August 1897. She was one of the most successful British authors of the twentieth century and she fell in love with Dorset after first visiting the county in 1931. Her most popular children’s books included The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree and Noddy series. Did you know that she based some of the books characters and locations on people and places in Dorset? She wrote 21 full length Famous Five books. The first book was ‘Five on a Treasure Island’ which was published on 11th September 1942. In this book you are introduced to four children – brothers Julian and Dick, their sister Anne and their cousin George (Georgina Kirrin). The fifth member is George’s dog Timmy. Enid is said to have based the character George on her younger self. In total, Enid wrote more than 800 books and stories over 40 years, but still found time for three holidays a year in Dorset (specifically in the Isle of Purbeck) for over twenty years. During the 1940’s she visited with her daughters Gillian and Imogen and later with her husband Kenneth.
