Dorchester to Weymouth via Sutton Poyntz
My first ever Walks & Pubs walk took me from Dorchester to Weymouth and concluded at The Red Lion pub.
On this journey, the sights I saw included beautiful churches, a stunning countryside with nice views, 4,000-year-old barrows and charming towns and villages.
Some of the places I visited were Dorchester, Fordington and St George’s Church, Winterborne Came, the Dorset Jubilee Trail, the Came Wood Bronze Age Cemetery, Sutton Poyntz and Weymouth.
The video features St Peter’s Church in Winterborne Came which is being looked after by The Churches Conservation Trust. Please consider giving them a donation. visitchurches.org.uk/donate.html
