    Thanks, Dave - a lovely video. I actually travelled by train through Spetisbury back in March, 1966, the final week of passenger services. Nice to see people taking interest in the old station again.

    Hey Dave I think Dorset Tourist Office should pay you a fee for the marvelous incentives you give us to come to your neck of the woods. The beauty of it all gives me a real treat. Thank you so much from France🐸🐕

    Thanks once again Dave for stirring up the old memories of years gone by spent many hours fishing the Stour around that area, and just as many hours drinking at the Spetisbury Manor night club back in the early seventies, it was a pretty wild club back then even made The News of the World headlines for it's raucous hens strip nights lol.

    Thanks again Dave for such a well put together video. I’ve been driving trains for 15 years and am fascinated by the disused lines and regularly enjoy walking them.
    Moved to Stur Marshall a couple years back and have enjoyed the local walks since, although have yet to fully explore the area.
    My wife and I are doing part of the route you’ve covered in this video later today and enjoyed a cuppa atop Spetisbury Rings on Sunday.
    I’m amazed how so many people locally have never explored a little outside their villages, there’s so much history and interesting features of the landscape to enjoy.
    Thanks again, really enjoy your videos and all the work that goes into them. All the best!

      @@DaveFord it was superb Dave, we think the old Abbey next to St Mary’s church is under the tree line as you maybe suggested.
      There’s a substantial brick wall running the length of it all, the time of year and overgrowth makes it hard to see though.
      A great walk and we ended up doing the full circular trail you covered.
      I’m off tomorrow and feel the urge to stretch the legs so will take a gander at more of your videos for inspiration.
      All the best

    Hi Dave, I just watched this one for the first time, lovely video, thanks. Have you ever watched the Jack Hargreaves episode of The Old Country where he walks up the Tarrant and discusses how they would settle further up a river as successive generations needed more land on which to live and farm, and they would give each new farm a name further along the river. Fascinating.

    Perfect walking weather again Dave. I was going to say that Dorset's always sunny and warm, but having been to West Bay yesterday it was grey with a cold wind, so that's blown that theory. Stopped at the Mason's Arms in Odcombe (nr Yeovil) on the way back, had a pint of Ferret in your honour (usually a Golden Champion man myself). I put one behind the bar for you, and a bag of crisps for the lad. Keep up the good work.
