Two weeks in Dorset part 2
« on: 12:39:10, 14/07/11 »
We did a lovely walk from Abbotsbury which took in part of the inner Dorset coast path.

 
With great views of Chesil beach.

 
And guess what, time for even more tea and cake at the Abbotsbury manoe tea rooms. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.

 
Overlooking a 14th century tythe barn, the largest in the country at 270 feet long.

 
A visit to Kingston Lacy house on a none walking day.

 
There were numerouse sculptures in the grounds, all made out of chicken wire. Can you spot Mrs Micky (I'm in trouble now).

 
Sue has found a friend.

 
Boxing hares

 
Where are the Welsh contingency when you need them, calm down Max and Howie.

 
A very grand house with lovely grounds.

 
In complete comparison.

This was the former home of lawrence of Arabia, who first bought this small and isolated cottage in 1923 when stationed at nearby Bovington Camp, he only came to live here in 1935, just two months before his fatal motorcycle accident.  It is now in the care of the National Trust.
 
Hope you enjoyed the pictures, part 3 to follow.
Expect the best, prepare for the worst.

Wow ,a photo of Micky without his waterproof's on .The Mod's should make this a sticky ,it's a very rare photograph indeed. ;)
 
Loved these photo's Micky.It looks an ideal place to go roaming if you want a day off from the longer walks .
These modern sculpture's in my opinion spoil some good photo opportunities and should be set aside in one side of the grounds. I remember in Chatsworth a few years ago the place was littered with them ,one placed in the middle of the cascade behind the house .
Kingston Lacy House and Abbotsbury manoe tea rooms look impressive .
Thanks for another great report . O0
Everyday when i wake up i thank the Lord im Welsh .
