    Interesting fact about Corfe Castle is that, during the Civil War, it was the last Royalist stronghold in Dorset and was under siege by the Parliamentarians. The castle fell when one of the garrison betrayed his comrades by letting a squad of Roundheads in through a side gate. They weren't identified as enemies because they turned their tunics inside out so the red lining was showing, which looked liked the Royalist redcoat uniform. Hence the word "turncoat" meaning a traitor.

    We also have a special stone at the side of a nearby road. It commemorates the countries oldest man, he was 145. Dosn't give a lot of detail, it just says his name was Miles from London.

    "welcome to Shitterton"
    THAT made watching this video worthwhile.

    • @nigelcox1451
      @nigelcox1451 2 месяца назад +10

      Growing up in the area, passing Shitterton always brought a snigger. Then it got renamed, Sitterton, which started a long campaign by the residents to have it put back.
      Nearby are the rivers Puddle and Piddle, giving their names to Puddletown (famous for its martyrs) and Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide. there used to be a pub landlord who bottled the water from the river Piddle, selling it to the US as genuine Piddle water.
      Then there's the Cerne Giant, and a bit South, Weymouth, Portland (just a bleak rock made of fossils), and the lovely scenic coast road along to Abbotsbury (swannery is worth a visit), the tropical gardens, and then into West Bay. So Dorset is not entirely empty.

    Of course you have other coastal landmarks between Swanage and Bridport, such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, and also Chesil Beach, a 16 mile stretch of pebbles and sand where the bouncing bombs were tested prior to the Dambusting missions. Also Weymouth between there too, one of the oddities of locations of the summer race riots this year.

      Think I did two years before you. It was meant to be a "Geography field trip" but since it was after the exams, they had a hard time finding participants - so it was opened up to the whole year on a first come first served basis. Good day out. Learnt some georgraphy/geology too (I'd given it up as a subject two years previously).

    Congrats on 150k subscribers Jon! Always a great day when funny beanie bloke in a Saab meets geology - the Bridport Sand Formation as mentioned is minaly sands with occasional silt and mudstones, and represent a shallow shelf ocean, with ripple marks and disturbances in the layers indicating storm events and disturbances in the then loose sediment. The geology also indicates a time where Britiain was much nearer the equator, with numerous fossils present here too - mainly ammonites which are also found at Lyme Regis down the coast. Of course, when we got to the 1970's, it came about the oil potential of the rocks here..

    My God! My family is from Bournemouth and I remember visiting the model village as a little kid! I think it may have made an impression on me because I've been into scale models just about my entire life. Blast from the past.

    The A35 I have to use that road next week to see the outlaws, not sure what is worse the outlaws or the A35. The A35 at Bridport might be wide but it is always jammed up with vehicles! and all those roundabouts on the A35 into Dorchester Ughh!

    Ah my birth county of Dorset! Originally from Bournemouth, family home is currently in Dorchester, my brother and his family live in Bridport. And many an evening was spent down at West Bay!
    I would recommend the nearby village of Beaminster (a famous actor lives there!) where i lived before moving to Dorchester.

    • @christhesnaildriver
      @christhesnaildriver 2 месяца назад

      Hi, if you have a spare moment, my partner moved to Beaminster a couple of months ago from Crewkerne. She's still settling in, but so far still drives to Crewkerne or Yeovil for all shopping needs, where prices are lower and people seem friendlier. From a non-tourist point of view, what would you recommend about Beaminster (aside from Mr Clunes and the Clipper Tea factory)? Cheers, Chris.

    • @abigailturner2775
      @abigailturner2775 2 месяца назад

      @christhesnaildriver It's been a while since I was in the area! The whole scenery is beautiful. I would definitely recommend visiting West Bay, for their cracking ice creams and fish and chips.
      For Beaminster, I would recommend the cracking scenery and country hikes. Though it's a bit of a drive for things like shopping and petrol!

    You should cover the various counties here in Scotland, there's quite a few other tourist attractions besides castles, and many of the roads should be on the same alignment as the guide book.
