Dominating the Dorset landscape, Maiden Castle is one of Europe’s largest and most complex Iron Age hillforts. Its massive, labyrinthine earthworks were engineered around 400 BC to protect a thriving community of hundreds. The site is famous for its "war cemetery," detailing a fierce struggle against the Roman Second Legion in 43 AD. Today, its sweeping ramparts remain a masterclass in ancient defensive architecture.

St. Catherine's Chapel in Abbotsbury is an enchanting place steeped in history and atmosphere. Perched on a hill, the small chapel offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the sea. Its tranquil and spiritual atmosphere makes it a perfect place for a contemplative stroll or a short break from everyday life. Its historical significance and picturesque location make St. Catherine's Chapel a must-see for visitors who want to discover the beauty and history of the region.

It is very impressive to walk along the extensive ramparts and enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside.

Apart from a memorial stone seat near the summit of the hill there is nowhere to sit down if you’re in need of a rest! Sure, you could sit on the grass but not when it’s damp …

Car park at the beach is relatively cheap. toilets are 24 hours open and clean. The shingle beach is...well, a nightmare for miles upon miles of relentless trudging.

Abbotsbury Abbey, dedicated to Saint Peter, was a Benedictine monastery in the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset, England. The abbey was founded in the 11th century by King Cnut's thegn Orc and his wife Tola, who handsomely endowed the monastery with lands in the area. The abbey prospered and became a local centre of power, controlling eight manor houses and villages. During the later Middle Ages, the abbey suffered much misfortune. In the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the last abbot surrendered the abbey and the site became the property of Sir Giles Strangways. Today, a small part of the former Abbey estate, including the abbey's remains, and those of the nearby St Catherine's Chapel, are in the guardianship of English Heritage.

Finally came back in daylight hours and got to venture inside the Chapel. Awesome!!!
