Abbotsbury's ABANDONED chapel on the hill.

In this video, I visit the beautiful village of Abbotsbury in Dorset.
Abbotsbury is home to the abandoned chapel of St Catherine, a ruined Benedictine Abbey, and the pretty church of St Nicholas.
Come and explore them with me!

I was lucky enough to live over the wall from St Nick's for 14 years. This was a great place to bring up our kids. Thanks for the great video.

[@walkingthewyrd]

I can't imagine how idyllic it would have been to live there. It's so beautiful and peaceful too. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful place Nic ❤

[@julier1295]

Beautiful. Singing was fabulous. I'd love to walk amongst the gravestones and look at them. Thank you for sharing.......

[@walkingthewyrd]

You're so welcome, Julie. Thank you 😊

[@rrr92462]

So cool! Can you imagine attending a church that is 700 year old!

[@NewHeathen]

It's nice to find a channel of another folklorist, historian and walker especially a local one (I'm on the Somerset/Dorset border). Nice video you have earned a new subscriber.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thank you! It is a fantastic area to explore all of the above. I'd say by your youtube name, we both have similar spiritual beliefs too! Welcome to my channel.

[@NewHeathen]

​@@walkingthewyrdyou are correct keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@thesearcher118]

Very interesting. I can dig it.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevepierrpoint7385]

A well put together video. Abbotsbury im my opinion is one of the UKs prettiest villages, and St Catherines is beautiful. We visit it every year.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thank you, Steve. I agree, such a wonderful village and chapel. I hope to return too!

[@dmozonnersepicoutdooradven3524]

I love old English history. Great video. Rock on.

[@DaveFord]

Super video & well presented & researched. Thanks for posting.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks so much, Dave! I really enjoy watching your channel, so your feedback is very much appreciated.

[@blueyondermoto]

Cracking video Nic and you hit the optimum length of 10 mins. As someone else has said, do a bit more of you to camera, you definitely won't crack the lens!😊 You deserve a lot more than 181 subs, so I've subscribed and liked. A.

[@pbcreative6388]

Another lovely video. Your narration is very good. Well done 👍

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment!

[@david_v2.1]

Nice to see the old chapel still being used by people to leave their cards and prayers...kudos to you for braving the field of cows, temperamental beasts they are!

[@walkingthewyrd]

I have to admit David, I was not keen on sharing the field with the cows! The chapel still seems to be very special to many, which is lovely. Thanks for watching!

[@JohnDoe-px4ko]

I was once chased by a herd of bullocks on parkland-I had to jump a fence into a nettle-filled ditch to escape them! They still tried to push the fence down to get at me. The land owner came past in his land rover , stopped briefly to look and then drove on😢He probably thought “oh, it’s only a peasant”🤬

[@walkingthewyrd]

Oh my goodness! That sounds terrifying! Jumping into nettles too - ouch!

[@Odo55]

" ...... anyone better than none, St. Catherine " oh how times have changed.

[@paulysskylarkingoways3122]

If you ever need a drone flyer shout lol....very enjoyable stuff you do..hope you get more likes and channel gets bigger...Good stuff...

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind comment 🙂

[@paulus894]

The UK honors its churches and cemeteries, here in the Netherlands everything is being demolished to put up terrible modern buildings, that is not progress but regression.

[@walkingthewyrd]

That's such a shame. History should be preserved as much as possible. It is after all, why we're all here today. Thanks as always for watching 🙂

[@buzsalmon]

What beautiful places! I am so glad you took us along. I enjoyed every second Nic.
