Sunday. An opportunity for our small group to visit the Dorset army ranges with their abundant wildlife and the deserted village of Tyneham. Glorious sunshine and time to look at the school, church, farm, all clearly described. A great walk along the western part of the Purbeck Ridge with superb views on either side led us to Corfe where we visited the castle, courtesy of Footpath Holidays. Then the National Trust teashop for cream teas. Our driver, Adrian, was a fount of knowledge: “Corfe means cutting!” and “these are the only black sheep in Dorset”.
