Dorset

I had a holiday in Dorset, and visiting various bits of the south coast, at the end of September. Between an OU exam and many photos to edit, I haven't written it up previously. But, pretty pictures.

Did you go to any of the Piddle / Puddle towns?

Alas, no. Mostly trips round National Trust / English Heritage stuff in Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of White etc.

Basically the top three rows of http://www.flickr.com/photos/improbablebiscuits/sets/ covers everywhere I went, from "Holiday in Dorset..." (102 photos) onwards.

I saw on your Flickr stream that you'd been to Tyneham and Studland and Corfe. I'd love to have a holiday down there, I've never been to Tyneham, but although my grandmother's vague about a lot of things she's very sharp when it comes to people being in the area and not staying with her or visiting her every day, so I sneak in every now and then. I was just thinking last night about a walk to St Aldhelm's Head I did on the way to visit her this summer.

I used to tell my parents to go down there for the odd weekend and just not tell her anything about it, but they weren't up for even that level of deceit so even when my father was capable of getting around, he spent far more time in her sitting room than visiting places in the area (he grew up in Langton Matravers and as my mother put it "never really left").

We stayed in a small "cottage" on the Studland estate - a small area seemingly full of some beautiful houses and holiday homes, just behind the Studland village itself
