Monday. We looked around Worth Matravers, a beautiful Dorset village, and went into the church to see the magnificent Norman chancel arch before setting out for the coast. At Winspit there were fossils in the huge disused quarry and golden samphire on the beach. The coast path to Swanage was the haunt of many butterflies – even a Chalk Hill Blue! We learnt that the Tilly Whim Caves had been a tourist attraction after limestone ceased to be quarried there. How we enjoyed the sunny sea views today!
