Now for those of you who enjoy a look at the British countryside here are some photos I took on a walk I did on Tuesday with a friend who lives not far from Bridport - the place we went to is called Pilsdon Penn and was in ancient times an Iron Age fort so it is a steep climb to the top but the 360 degree view is breathtaking - in more ways than one!
That's the sea you can see on the horizon - if you look closely! What a shame a cloud came over just as I took this one.
The sky seems so big from up here! And those soft fluffy clouds - aren't they lovely?!
On top of the world and only one lone walker to share it with! You can see for miles from here and it ws fun trying to decide where the various places were in the distance.
On the descent now.
We followed this up with lunch at the craft cente in Broadwindsor - a lovely bowl of soup with a hunk of bread eaten outside in the sunshine. It doesn't get much better than that does it?!!
All that wide open space and rolling hills - beautiful.

You have photographed an area which I really like. When I moved from France, Dorset was the place we moved to at. Although at first I didn't like it (too rural & locals were different to what I was used to), it eventually became a very special place to me. I lived just outside Dorchester. There are so many beautiful walks to go on in Dorset and yours is certainly one of them.
ReplyDeleteI have REALLY enjoyed looking at your photos. I have a going to Dorset craving at the moment but have not been able to go as I have been so busy with other things. Hopefully going for a mini break at the end of October.
Thank you for sharing your lovely walk which I would love to try out some day.

Fantastic photos Jane, the light is just perfect. I love the sheep on the brow of the hill and the last photo draws you into that wonderful valley. I'm office-bound today so thank you so much for sharing your lovely walk - you've made my day!

I love your photos Jane! Thanks for sharing the wonderful views! You know how much I love the English countryside.
ReplyDeleteWow, Those views are amazing! Thank you so much for popping by my blog and leaving those helpful comments Jane. Will head off for a look round yours now x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views. A lovely bowl of soup sipped in the sunshine afterwards is the icing on the cake! I am going back to look at the veggie and chickpea recipe - I must make this one. Ice cream and Ameretti biscuits afterwards looks good too!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I wish I could walk next to you and enjoy those wonderful views!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful countryside for walking in! I love the photograph of the sheep.

Absolutely gorgeous photos of the english countryside - which I love! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. So lush and green, makes me think of James Herriot's stories. The gate is so charming--it looks idyllic. You certainly do some fun things! Thank you for becoming a follower--I look forward to checking your posts very often--nothing like escaping to England as much as possible!
ReplyDeleteYour last comment said it all: It doesn't get much better than that. I also blundered into Blogland ........ can't remember how (possibly I "Googled" something)but have found it an amazing thing to be part of. :O)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful this countryside you call home. The sheep on the hill... such a pastoral scene. Just lovely!

Did you get into the patchwork shop at Broadwinsor - I've only called in on a Sunday and she's not open Sundays
ReplyDeletehave come to you via pinkfairygran...your photos are simply beautiful. I have a friend who lives near Bridport but I never seem to get down that way. Am going to a doll workshop next Saturday, can't wait to spend 6 hours quietly sewing.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, especially as I visited that car park at the bottom of the hill and admired the view when on holiday in Beaminster.
