Description

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Dorset The county of Dorset is small, but is yet so varied in its configuration. As to present an epitome of the scenery of Southern England. It is a land of moods and changes that knows no monotony, and is indeed so full of hills and dales that there is scarcely a level road within its confines, save by the banks of streams. It is crossed by a range of chalk downs whose lonely heights are worn smooth by the wind and are traversed only by shep herds and their sheep. To the East is the Great Heath, a wild, sandy fragment of unchanged Britain, which is still just as it was when the Celts first wandered over the island. To the North lie the glorious woods of Cranborne Chase and the enchanting Vale of Blackmore - that valley of the Blue Mist in whose soft shadows will be found the very heart of England. This valley is in the delectable hinterland, so that any who travel northwards from the sea will come in time to the hills.
