WALKS IN DORSET at LYSCOMBE BOTTOM (AND EXPLORING THE DESERTED VILLAGE AT LYSCOMBE) (4K)

[@SkylarkFields]

What a wonderful area! Enjoyed learning all about it, thank you! Great walk and video.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. That tiny little chapel at the bottom of the valley really is a gem!

[@SkylarkFields]

@@DaveFord There's certainly something about old buildings. Would love to go there but not sure I would manage the hills so appreciate being able to sit and watch from home! Raining here now...come back summer!

[@Originalspruce]

Wow Dave that was a classic Dorset walk. Wish we lived closer to follow in your footateps on this one!

[@DaveFord]

One of my favourites I think!

[@laviniagray5637]

Great as always Beautifull day . nice to see people out enjoying the Beautiful day too. The history of the area was wonderful. Logan has the right idea. thank you two.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lavinia. I think Logan would have liked the stream to have been a little deeper!

[@keithjoseph5671]

Amazing walking tour with stunning beauty in the countryside

[@DaveFord]

Many thanks Keith.

[@paulineshave3880]

Looks really interesting! Another one we'll try 😀

[@DaveFord]

Certainly one to do when the weather is fine & sky clear as there are some amazing views!

[@simon-oy6um]

And that cottage is crying out for restoration 😊

[@simon-oy6um]

The good old brace of pheasants ,lovely place 😊

[@RogerB747]

Great walk, Dave and Logan. Please keep'em coming. I enjoy every one of your videos

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Roger. Will do!

[@lornasear1580]

Absolutely wonderful, reminded me of the days I would walk those hills with my dogs, and in July evenings counting glowworms.

[@DaveFord]

It is a lovely part of the county around there for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@kevinedw2002]

Another fantastic video. Regret not being able to explore this area more when I lived there many years ago. Thanks for sharing!

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Kevin. It is a super area to explore around there for sure.

[@rachelt-s]

Beautiful landscape and what a glorious sunny weather to enjoy it. Well done Dave a brilliant and enjoyable walk. 😀

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Rachel. It was perfect weather that day which meant some great views.

[@carltonjohnston8408]

We love watching all your walks Dave, every Saturday morning having breakfast and coffee we watch you and Logan. You make them so enjoyable and provide so much information about the history of places. We absolutely love that part of the country. Big thank you for them all 🙂

[@DaveFord]

Thanks for your kind comments Carlton. Glad that you are enjoying the series. Thank you for watching.

[@Lynn-i7x]

Lyscombe bottom recently bought by Dorset Wildlife Trust which will preserve this beautiful area. Lovely walk thank you both.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks for the updated information. Certainly great news.

[@andrewnorris1]

Yes, the Gap is an extraordinary place. So glad you found it. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.

[@DaveFord]

We nearly didn't find it!

[@susantaylor927]

Wonderful area there! Lovely to see other people enjoying it too! Fab weather for you guys and glad you found a pub at the end of that great walk! Thanks Dave and Logan for another uplifting walk!😊

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Susan. :)

[@wiseowl6354]

A lovely walk, on a beautiful day. Thank you both. ❤️

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. I think we will be visiting that area again for sure - the views were stunning!

[@suewright1299]

What a glorious area to have a thoroughly good walk, though some of those hills! 😯 Dorset has always be known for its beautiful scenery and you certainly showed us much of it today. Very many thanks once again Dave, I so appreciated it.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Sue. Some splendid views from the top of the ridge there for sure!

[@melissaphillips3088]

I just love the beauty of this area. I wished I could visit your country someday. It is truly beautiful Dave. Thank you for this lovely walk👏🏻

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Melissa. It certainly is a beautiful part of Dorset around there.

[@VisionAssoc]

Some beautiful views and history on this walk, I’ll have to put it on the list for next year…Off to walk the Ringwood and Linwood walks in the coming weeks after watching your superb videos on both. Thank you Dave and Logan 😁🥾

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. I hope that you have some good weather for your "New Forest" walks coming up.

[@jeanblemings5352]

Loving Lyscombe - the deserted cottage and Chapel were enchanting and Dorsetshire Gap intriguing. You mention area being dairy farmed yet you and Logan rarely seem to encounter fields with livestock in. Is that luck or judicious editing?! I hate walking through fields with cattle!! Thanks for another great video which I really enjoyed.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jean. I don't remember seeing any cattle in any of the fields we actually walked through that day - maybe we were on land that was too high up? (that is not to say that there may be some at other times of the year of course!). I do remember going through a field that had sheep in at one end - the scene near the end when I had Logan on a lead & gave him water.

[@melissaphillips3088]

So sorry I missed you Dave but catching up now. It looks so beautiful and what a nice day you and Logan had to walk. ☀️Enjoy a pint you deserve it. 👏🏻

[@DaveFord]

The view across the valley from the Winyard's Gap pub garden, on a sunny day, was amazing.

[@annetteboyle7518]

Thanks Dave beautiful scenery

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Annette. Logan & I both enjoyed that walk.

[@JefPersonalVideos]

Beautiful and amazing view of the place to wlak around and lovely doggie thanks for sharing

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jef. It makes for a super dog walk.

[@gparry42]

Wonderful film and delightful narrative ! Thankyou !

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Gareth and indeed thank you for watching.

[@HobsNobs]

Great video and stunning walk will give this area a go next summer. Looks like you bumped into them Verwood ramblers 😁

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Stefan. I can certainly recommend this walk for the views alone!

[@lambrettascooter]

Hi Dave . Did this lovely walk today! We, and two dogs really enjoyed it . Unfortunately rain started while at chapel, so cut short walk a bit by going back the way we came . Ironically there were many sheep gathered around the old sheep dip ! 😊. All the best , Alan , Michelle and doggies

[@DaveFord]

So glad that you got to do the walk although shame about the weather situation. Great that you dogs enjoyed it too!

[@nickmay625]

What lovely walk

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Nick.

[@edspencer7198]

[@gaildavies8380]

Nice walk Dave, this one’s really close to us in Cheselbourne

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Gail. :)

[@FenrisOswin]

Fabulous. really enjoyed that. Added you to my subscribed channels as well, look forward to more walks

[@DaveFord]

Thank you and indeed welcome to the channel! I hope that you enjoy the future videos in the series.

[@peterfrend5360]

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your very interesting walks. You certainly do your research for every walk that you do? I was born in Poole, & lived in Mappowder, Shaftesbury & Stur' Newton. I moved away in 1989, but Dorset will always be in my blood, especially Hardy's Dorset. In one of your vlogs, you went by or along Hunt Rd, near Longfleet, Poole. I had an aunt who lived in Hunt Rd, & in the front garden, there used to be two concrete pedestals, with baskets on the top, again made with concrete, & covered in seashells? Probably long gone by now, but if you lived in Poole for a long time, you may have seen them? Kind regards, :& many thanks. Pete.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Pete. I have a number of further walks in Dorset planned for 2023 so I hope that you enjoy the rest of the series going forward. Thanks for watching.

[@angelaskelton2594]

Really enjoyable walk as always. Logan is so lucky to have you as his Dad!! I think you stumbled across my lottery win house! I can dream.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Angela. That valley really is quite enchanting!

[@simon-oy6um]

Thomas hardy was also an architect and the first job my late farther had was working in the same office his recollections he told me years ago was that hardy was the most miserable old bugger he ever came across 😅😅😅

[@tracielillytan1530]

I have lived in Puddletown, Dorset since 2018 and I don’t know half of the places you visit. How do you find them and also do you need permission to walk in these fields?

[@DaveFord]

Hi Tracie. Many of the walks can be found in walking books or guides. I just followed public footpaths - which often went through fields (there is a map up on screen about 30 seconds into the video that shows the route of the walk).Thanks for watching.

[@tracielillytan1530]

@@DaveFord thank you. I love watching your videos and learning about places near to me! Logan seems to really enjoy his walks.
