Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hillforts in Europe. It would once have been densely populated.
It’s now owned by English Heritage and is a lovely place to walk around, with views over #Dorchester, #Poundbury and the Hardy Monument.

The Pinnacles near Old Harry Rocks. If you're standing at Old Harry Rocks, look towards Swanage to see these fabulous chalk sea stacks. Walk there from South Beach Studland (National Trust) but watch out for the cliff edges. #Dorset

Beautiful Dorset homes - 3 and 5 Abbey Street, Cerne Abbas. These early 16th century buildings are now private homes but they were once Abbey tenements.

Sunlit flock of pigeons in Poole, lit by the final rays of the sun on Sunday. It was a glorious, if still a bit cold, day.
