Swyre Head

I took Geoff for his first walk over the Purbeck coast today. In fact I took him for two Purbeck walks today. First out to Swyre Head, at 208m it's the highest point on the Purbeck coast and is blessed with magnificent views both east and west along the Jurassic Coast. Fast moving clouds allowed the intermittent sunlight to dance across the hill and cliffs, highlighting features as the passed. Absolutely stunning. Then we stopped at Rempstone Stone Circle, a truncated Bronze Age Stone circle at the base of the Purbeck Hills, and made our way up the steep wooded path to the exposed grassland of Nine Barrow Down. Again the views were stunning. A good walk(s) to start 2019.
