The Dorset coastline and ideal April conditions provided an excellent walk yesterday with St. Aldhelm's Chapel, Chapman's Pool and the imperious Coastwatch Station among many features of interest.
Of slightly less appeal at first sight was the climb to get up to the highest point but even that wasn't quite as fearsome as it looked from the bottom and gave those of us whose days as athletes have faded to somewhat unreliable memories a sense of achievement .
The tiny Chapel is 800 years old and has only this glimpse of a window and so is an atmospheric study of time and darkness.
But it was all good and highly recommended although one can understand that during the season it could be busy with outdoor enthusiasts.
To complete the day, we stopped at the Halfway Inn http://thehalfwayinnwareham.co.uk/ where a rare excursion into culinary reviewing gives me the opportunity to recommend the Vegetable Jalfrezi.
