Saturday on the South Dorset Ridgeway

[Saturday 1st April 2023]
I took the train down to Weymouth this morning, and then a taxi from there out to the tiny village of Osmington Mills, where I started my walk along the South Dorset Ridgeway. It's an 18 mile trail, which I split over two days, and is one of the biggest concentrations of prehistoric (Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age) sites in the UK.

Today I walked as far as Bronkham Hill, which is covered in Bronze Age barrows. I watched the sun setting from there, had a sort of tagine for dinner, and a few glasses of Gevrey Chambertin.
