The picture is of Tadnoll Heath in Dorset, looking towards the Purbeck Hills. The Heath is a nature reserve, a site of special scientific interest and a Ramsay site (which I had never heard of before today) that is a site of international importance under the Ramsay convention that deals with the conservation of wetlands.
The path we were following was well trodden, and whilst not knowing any of the above, I did my utmost to stick to the path, knowing the value of heathland in general.
I have to say that although it was only a brief walk, it was delightful. I understand that there are some interesting sites to visit on heathland, not the least of which is at least one Neolithic site.
Whilst I didn’t have enough time today to explore as much as I would have liked to have done, nor I must admit did I have the correct attire should it have rained, I thoroughly enjoyed my brief walk, and will definitely be going back to have a more detailed look around.
