CARE Jurassic Coast Trek Route information Please note this route is subject to change and the final route will be communicated to all walkers well in advance. Starting on the sandy beach of the beautiful town of Swanage the route will soon see you gaining height as you follow the South West Coast path giving you a fantastic panaroma over the town as you catch your breath. As you continue round the coast very soon one of the most famous coastal features that Dorset has to offer will come into sight. Old Harry Rocks is a series of huge chalk stacks jutting out into the sea and as you descend towards them along the path, you will be greeted with another memorable view. The route will then lead you past the town of Studland before climbing up onto the magnificent chalk ridge where you will be able to enjoy some Poole harbour and Bournemouth to the north with Swanage and the coast to the south. Following the path as it leads you along the top of the ridge you will suddenly come over a hill to see the thousand-year-old ruins of Corfe Castle. This iconic royal castle has literally ‘been through the wars’ and as you descend into the town of Corfe you will get a variety of views from different angles as you pass round the battlements following the route. Climbing back up onto ridge you will continue west away from the castle towards the Grange Hill which will be the point on the route where you will turn south towards the coast and re-join the South West Coast path. Making your way south you will pass alongside Lulworth Firing range before reaching the coast path and then turning east you will soon reach the Purbeck Marine wildlife centre which marks the halfway point. As you leave the half-way point, the route will see you climb up a ‘thigh burning’ set of stairs that takes you back up on to the cliff and past Kimmerage Bay Tower with commanding views over the surrounding coastline. The path skirts around the coastline taking you past the spectacular Kimmerage ledges towards Chapman’s pool where you descend down another flight of steep stairs just to the west of the town of Worth Matravers. Continuing round the coast you will next pass St Aldhelm’s Chapel a grade 1 listed Norman building after you have tackled some challenging stairs that see you loose and then gain over 120m in height as you travel 300m. Moving along the undulating path you will pass Seacombe Quarry and Dancing ledge before reaching Anvil point lighthouse. From this point it starts to feel like you are in the closing stages of the event as the path improves significantly and the going starts to get easier. Soon after passing the lighthouse you will come to Durlston Castle before descending down back into Swanage and on to the path that will lead you round the bay and along the promenade to the finish line on the beach.

Swanage Area Forum Including Surrounding Villages
SWANAGE AREA FORUM INCLUDING SURROUNDING VILLAGES NEWSLETTER JUNE 2021 - No. 12 Welcome to the June/July issue of the Swanage & Purbeck Development Trust and Swanage Area Forum Newsletter. When you read this latest newsletter I’m sure that, like me, you will witness a different feel in the articles from the many contributors, compared to previous issues. The past 15 months and all their trauma, have seen just how, when a community like Purbeck comes together to help each other, to share information, and not be left isolated, amazing things happen. It’s drawn us all together … and long may that continue. There seems to be a more optimistic and busier atmosphere compared to earlier months, which obviously relates to more upbeat news regarding the Covid-19 crisis. For though there are still real worries and concerns relating especially to the latest Delta variant and its potential negative impact, mostly on those still not yet fully vaccinated, the overall mood is more hopeful than earlier in the year. The Purbeck holiday crowds are back and we haven’t even got to the main season yet. Hopefully this summer will pass off well for residents and visitors alike, with our many holiday-based businesses flourishing, local fetes, festivals and galas thriving - and to cap it all and some good old English weather (not sure about that!). So let’s keep our fingers crossed, keep up our amazing community spirit - but still try to keep cautious, careful and safe. Mel Norris, Chair Swanage Area Forum and Swanage & Purbeck Development Trustee [email protected] Photograph by Gwenda Yeomans In line with the national picture, we have started to see case rates increase in both the Dorset Council areas and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council areas.

Purbeck Seabird Survey 2019
Purbeck seabird survey 20 19 Sophie Lake and Zoe Caals 1 Date: 27/11/2019 Version: FINAL Recommended Citation: Lake, S. & Caals, Z. (2019) Purbeck Seabird Survey 2019. Footprint Ecology/National Trust Front cover image ©Zoe Caals 2 Summary This report presents data from the 2019 breeding seabird counts between Old Harry and St. Aldhelm’s Head. Weather constraints meant that it was not possible to continue the survey west of St. Aldhelm’s Head to White Nothe. Counts have been carried out on the Purbeck coast since the mid-1960s and data are presented in the context of trends over the last 50 years (up to 2015). Seabirds breeding on the Purbeck coast include Fulmar, Cormorant, Shag, Herring Gull, Great Black- backed Gull, Kittiwake, Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin. None of the populations is large. The Guillemot population remains the largest, with over 1100 individuals counted on the breeding ledges in 2019, and the Puffin population is the smallest with just 5 birds counted on the survey (although up to 16 were reported). Species such as Razorbill, Guillemot and Puffin are thought to have been considerably more abundant in the first half of the 20th century, while Fulmar colonised, and Kittiwake increased markedly, during the second half of the 20th century before declining. For a full discussion of previous Purbeck trends please see Lake et al. (2011). Results from the 2019 monitoring indicate that: The Guillemot and Razorbill populations are, for the fifth consecutive year, at the highest level recorded since 1965. The 2019 data indicate a continuing decline for Cormorant (at its lowest since the population expanded in the 1980s), but a slight increase for Kittiwake and Great Black- Backed Gull in the context of an overall trend of decline.

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.

Copyright, 1922 BY ALBERT A. POMEROY "The Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family is 11 volume of 962 closely printed pages [aside from 78 pages of illustrations) that was published four years ago. At the time of its publication there was a full description of the book in these columns. At that time the secretary and historian of the Pomeroy Family Association was Albert A. Pomeroy of Sandusky, Ohio, who has been continued in the office. The volume represents the expenditure of a large amount of time and money, and the genealogies of the different generations are concise, so that each page contains as much information as is found in some genealogical pampl,/ets." -Boston Transcript.

Purbeck-Seabird-Survey-2017.Pdf
1 Date: 15/01/2018 Version: FINAL Recommended Citation: Lake, S. (2017) Purbeck Seabird Survey 2017. Footprint Ecology/National Trust Cover photo: Julian Sawyer 2 Summary This report presents data from the 2017 breeding seabird counts between Old Harry and St. Aldhelm’s Head. Counts have been carried out on the Purbeck coast since the mid-1960s and data are presented in the context of trends over the last 50 years. In most years since 2000, counts have continued west to White Nothe, but weather constraints meant this has not been possible in the last two years. Consequently, total counts were achieved for populations of Kittiwake, Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin (none of which breed west of St. Aldhelm’s Head) but only partial counts were made for Fulmar, Cormorant, Shag, Herring Gull and Great Black-backed Gull, which also nest between St. Aldhelm’s and White Nothe. For these last four species, data are presented and analysed in the context of previous data from Old Harry – St. Aldhelm’s only, and will appear different from previous years (see Figure 1). Seabirds breeding on the Purbeck coast include Fulmar, Cormorant, Shag, Herring Gull, Great Black- backed Gull, Kittiwake, Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin. None of the populations is large. The Guillemot population remains the biggest, with just under 1000 individuals counted on the breeding ledges in 2017, and the Puffin population is the smallest at just two breeding pairs. Species such as Razorbill, Guillemot and Puffin are thought to have been considerably more abundant in the first half of the 20th century, while Fulmar colonised and Kittiwake increased markedly during the second half of the 20th century.
