Worbarrow Bay
A beautiful walk from the ghost village of Tyneham, across M.O.D land – accessible most weekends after public pressure applied in the 70s – up to Flowers Barrow, then down into Worbarrow Bay.

Dorset promotion, 60s style
Every Day in May takes a photographic form over the weekend, as we are away walking on the Isle of Purbeck (in Dorset, and not technically and island). This detail is from a poster in the Corfe Castle railway station (a stop on the restored Swanage Railway) were we waited to board a steam train…
