WALKS IN DORSET at MILTON ABBAS (inc MILTON ABBEY CHURCH) [4K]

[@johnstreeter9392]

Hi Dave, Walked your Milton Abbas walk today - lovely - thanks. Worth mentioning if you want to go into St Catherine’s Chapel you have to pick up a key from the farm shop and pay a fiver deposit. Best to know before walking up the hill to the chapel. Great walk, lovely day.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks for the information John. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to look (and film) inside the chapel. A good excuse for a return visit I think!

[@melissaphillips3088]

These houses are just lovely. The village is beautiful. It must be magnificent in person.Dave you find the most amazing places to show us. Thanks Dave and Logan for another wonderful walk. Peaceful is the right word Dave. That is how I feel watching and listening to all the history of this wonderful area.👏🏻

[@susantaylor927]

Thank you Dave and Lovely Logan!😊 Soo interesting regarding all the Historical info! Wonderful views ... We feel like we have been away!

[@DaveFord]

It is a fascinating village to explore, Susan.

[@hm4079]

Just completed this walk today and it's yet another great walk compiled by Dave. A couple of little cheeky hills, but nothing serious. Milton Abbas is a beautiful little village with plenty of charming features. Keep up the good work Dave! Kind regards, Henry and Beth.

[@DaveFord]

Glad that you both had a lovely walk.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. I must admit that I was somewhat taken by that little chapel on the hill.

[@cathydyer3774]

Very pretty village and great walk and history lesson. Thank you. At least it is lovely and peaceful in the village. Look what happened to Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire when the Earl decided to move the village. It is now on a very busy main road. Probably fairly quiet when there were just clippetty clops going through! 😊🐴🐴

[@DaveFord]

Milton Abbas is such a pretty village - especially on a sunny day!

[@MrRichardlangley]

Hi Dave,what a great video I know this place like the back of my hand as my grand pairents lived in one of the white houses in the village, I lost my wife of nearly 30 years to brest cancer back in march and I do this walk about twice a month as it makes me feel so much better in myself .Richard.

[@DaveFord]

Hi Richard. So sorry to learn about your loss & I my best wishes go to you. Lovely that you have a family connection with such a beautiful place. Thank you for watching.

Sunlit fields of greens and golds. Rolling hills and wooded glen. Of trodden paths, carved by time. By people of long ago… Thank you Dave & Logan ❤️

[@DaveFord]

Lovely words.... thanks again for watching. :)

[@gaildavies8380]

Lovely stuff Dave, nice videos👍I worked in Milton Abbey for a few years and it’s such a lovely spot views. One little gem in the area is an old folly ruin created by capability brown. it’s in the forestry commission woodland north of the abbey, you can just about see the spot from the chapel looking past the Abbey.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you & indeed thanks for the extra information about the old folly ruin.

[@colindowkes7061]

Another very interesting video and an amazing story. Thank you.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Colin and indeed thank you for watching.

Very enjoyable to watch, thank you for another interesting video. (I do love to see Logan trotting along with you.)

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Logan does make great company on the walks!

[@alcollins5179]

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Al.

[@antonettejavier2591]

Thank you for this video. Beautiful and nice places you have there sir. Tremendous blessing you have ther😊

[@DaveFord]

Thank you too.

[@merietgenealogy]

Thank you Dave, wonderfully idyllic village and fantastic scenery. My greataunt Fanny Sophia Hooper was born here in Dec 1886 during her families trek from Pulham Dorset through to Liss in Hants. Great to see how the village would have almost looked at that time.

[@DaveFord]

How lovely that you have a connection with the village. Thanks for watching.

[@jarseaburphy9516]

lovely narration, very natural, well done.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Jarsea and indeed thanks for watching.

[@lambrettascooter]

Hi Dave Another great video When we do that walk and we reach the Abbey, we just walk to the right which takes you to the bottom of the steps to the Chapel, and carry on and walk out main entrance. No one has ever stopped us. Then you turn right and walk along road which takes you under a angled bridge which is actually carrying the steps up to the the Chapel! All the best Alan and Michelle Plus Maisie and Freddie (Dogs) 😂

[@DaveFord]

Thanks. Yes, I thought there used to be a sort of permissive path as you describe (it showed in an old walking guide book that I was using) but there was some sort of event going on when I was filming (lots of folk about etc) and a "new looking" footpath sign indicating that there was no public access - which was a nuisance as it would have made for an easier circular walk! Hopefully it was a temporary thing and that it is accessible again.

[@katrinasarre3356]

Fantastic memories. My grandparents lived at Catherine's Well and we quite often walked to the chapel.

[@DaveFord]

The chapel really is in a quite enchanting location.

[@rizz6972]

Well done 👍 Dave . That was wonderful tour. Love from Pakistan

[@DaveFord]

Thanks and indeed thank you for watching.

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Never been to Dorset it looks beautiful, and what a pretty little chapel. So many trees too.

[@DaveFord]

There were some great views of the Abbey church from the chapel, for sure. thanks for watching.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Hello Dave. Lovely little village, which I have heard the history of sometime ago. You, however fill in so much more important details, together with your photography. That Abbey church is very large for such a small village and even a pub. Thanks so much for the video.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lionel. So much history there & such a pretty place.

[@amandarichards-satour9184]

My daughter and I have recently discovered your channel, and we are loving it. We are Australian so not much of a chance we will ever walk these paths but like feeling like we are joining you and Logan for a walk from the other side of the world. Thanks for the great videos.

[@DaveFord]

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

Thank you Dave and Logan, brought back memories of doing a walk similar to yours when we stayed in the area to visit the Blandford Stream Rally, a few years ago.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Christine. :)

Beautiful! Thank you, I live in Sussex and have would love to move to your area now retired.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Caroline. I moved from Sussex to Dorset and have never regretted it!

[@carolinebee6235]

@@DaveFord Seeing you and Logan together on your trips you look so happy. Sussex is too busy now! I'm looking for the right area has to be not too distant from airport for my son working abroad so cuts a lot of places out...still beautiful areas though and wish you many more happy trips out.

Apparently Middleton/Milton is named because it is in the very middle of Dorset! I didn't realize until recently. Beautiful location. Well done Dave another brilliant video. 😀

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Rachel. It is such a pretty village.

[@spotsterjon74cu]

My home village, thanks for the great video, you passed very close to where I lived for the first twenty years of my life. What you called monks walk, we called it fishermans walk, my neighbour who also came from Milton, called it green walk. Funny how things change👍🏻

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jon. What a lovely place to have lived in. Thank you for watching.

[@Legge123]

Am loving your videos Dave. I’m from Poole originally and need to get back to Dorset and go on some of these incredible walks, a lot of which I’ve already done as a child.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and indeed hope that you find the future videos in the series interesting. Thank yiu for watching.
