Perfect Purbeck - Signs of spring in Dorset


This weekend we needed to 'fine tune' one of our Dorset walks. After a busy week of bookings and availability enquiries (and with a good weather forecast) Suzanne joined Ian and Phoebe (the springer spaniel) for some well-earned sunshine and sea breezes.

Few places can rival Dorset's Purbeck peninsula as a walking venue. Spectacular sea views combine with high, airy, chalk downland ridges.

The first picture shows Clavell Tower, near Kimmeridge. The Clavell Tower has been moved to prevent it toppling into the sea. Find out more.

The other picture is St Aldhelm's Head as seen from Swyre Head - one of Dorset's classic views.

It's difficult to believe that we were under all that snow a fortnight ago!

Well the early June all-girls' tour saw fantastic weather - it was a truly perfect holiday, and a good time was had by all!

Many regards,
