Dorset is beautiful wherever you go.

But don't let them hear you say that in Somerset! Today is Tim's day off so this morning it was gardening (for him) and making Easter cards, (late again), for me.  This afternoon as  it was a beautiful sunny one, we went for a walk around Lambert's Castle, a nearby Iron Age Fort now owned by the National Trust.  You can find the walk we followed on the National Trust web site. Here are a few photo's I took along the way.  If you are in the area it is well worth a visit.  There is also a shorter walk on the castle itself and a longer one which takes in Lambert's Castle and Coney Castle, another beautiful spot, especially in bluebell season.
