Sunset amongst Iron Age Burial MoundsAn atmospheric walk in one of the most exposed sites in Dorset. |
|
We take an ancient trackway along the hills overlooking Weymouth and Maiden Castle, walking towards the Hardy Monument and the round barrows left here by Iron Age man. |

This is one of the only sites in South Dorset that still holds a population of Corn Buntings. Once common throughout the county, modern agricultural practices have exterminated this bird from most of its former breeding sites. |
This walk is timed to coincide with sunset on one of the shortest days of the year. Let's hope for dry weather! |
