Tyneham

Reviewed By darrenwC6242JJ - South Australia, Australia

Tyneham is a beautiful place to visit. The ruins of the last residents cottages and the renovated church and schoolhouse make this abandoned village a great place to visit. The atmosphere and history of this place is amazing. You can feel the atmosphere and can almost see the ghosts of the village their presence is so strong. The walk down to worbarrow bay takes you along the edge of the Goyle or through it depending on your preference. Wild deer and other animals can be seen on quiet days. Well worth a visit to walk around and take in the atmosphere of a village that sacrificed it's existence to help in the war effort and prepare the troops for the invasion of Europe.

Clouds Hill

Reviewed By Peter-Cornwall-1951 - Bournemouth, United Kingdom

Over the years I have enjoy introducing friends to the Lawrence of Arabia trail ... everyone is always fascinated, with so much to learn from the warm welcome from the National Trust guides. The recently opened bike shed is a welcome addition and the whole place is well worth visiting.

Lulworth Estate

During these family-friendly sessions, which are suitable for children 8+, you’ll ‘get up close to the coast’ and traverse, swim and jump around this beautiful part of the Jurassic Coast. Spot fossils, swim through caves and explore millions of years of Earth’s history.

The Lulworth estate really combines well to make a great day out. Lulworth cove, Durdle door and Lulworth castle are in close proximity to each other and if you visit Lulworth cove or Durdle door first, the parking ticket is valid for all 3 places.( If you visit the castle first you will need to buy two parking tickets.) Durdle door offers nice walks and incredible scenery while Lulworth cove has nice shops and cafes in a nice small haven. If you enjoy cliff walks then then you can walk between the two locations and enjoy the stunning views. The castle is an imposing building from outside and although we didn't go inside, the grounds and church were lovely.

St Martin On The Walls Church

Reviewed By paulaF8501RV - Winchester, United Kingdom

If you have to obtain the key from the shop in the high street when the church is locked up, it is really worth doing so. This edifice is so full of atmosphere with its wall paintings and Saxon architecture you can feel quite overcome with emotion at first and then you begin to appreciate the sheer fact of its quiet existence in these noisy and troubled times. Not to be missed and well worth a special journey.

Wareham Saxon Wall Walk

Reviewed By Drew186305 - Crich, United Kingdom

It is interesting that because much of the outside of the city is un-developed, it gives you a real perspective of just how high and impressive these walls must have been. We took a walk around the entire length which took about 40 minutes. There are some beautiful views, especially on the North side. Make sure you stop and read the information boards.
