바워찰케‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

으스스한 분위기가 감도는 건축 시간 여행을 즐기신다면 Knowlton Church & EarthworksClick to open side panel for more information는 Dorset에서 가장 분위기 있는 장소 중 하나입니다. 기본적으로 12세기 기독교 교회가 훨씬 오래된 신석기 시대의 환상열석 안에 직접 지어진 "역사 샌드위치"입니다. 궁극의 매시업: 신성한 장소를 "재사용"한 드문 예입니다. 노르만족은 이교도 의례 원의 한가운데에 교회를 지어 수천 년에 걸친 시각적 타임라인을 만들었습니다. 유령 같은 분위기: 외딴 위치와 폐허가 된 상태 때문에 지역 유령 이야기의 전설적인 명소입니다. "창문의 얼굴"을 믿든 안 믿든 주변 들판의 고요함은 믿을 수 없을 정도로 신비로운 느낌을 줍니다. 환상열석 고지대: 거대한 원형 토공 둑을 따라 걸을 수 있습니다. 꼭대기에서는 고리 중앙에 당당하게 서 있는 교회의 폐허가 된 부싯돌 벽의 멋진 전망을 감상할 수 있습니다. 과거와의 피크닉: 많은 관광 명소와 달리 완전히 개방되어 있고 자유롭게 돌아다닐 수 있습니다. 담요를 깔고 샌드위치를 먹으며 4,000년 전 원래 건축가들이 무슨 생각을 하고 있었는지 궁금해하기에 완벽한 장소입니다.

Bokerley Dyke is a substantial linear earthwork, approximately 5.75 kilometers (3.6 miles) long, located on Cranborne Chase. It runs along part of the border between Dorset and Hampshire, specifically between Woodyates and Martin. It is part of a larger Scheduled Monument that also includes Grim's Ditch and other earthworks. The dyke has a multi-period history. It is believed to have originated in the Bronze Age or Early Iron Age as an important political and cultural boundary. In the 1st century, it was cut through by a Roman road, Ackling Dyke, which ran between Old Sarum and Badbury Rings. In the 4th century, the dyke was remodeled and brought back into use. During this period, the Roman road was blocked. A coin of Valens found during excavations dates this activity to shortly after 364 AD, with some sources suggesting it was built between 367-368 AD. This remodeling may have been a defensive measure against attacks on Britain by Picts, Scots, and Saxons. The Roman road was eventually reopened, but the dyke may have continued to be used as a boundary after the Roman administration ended. Today, it still forms part of the border between the counties of Dorset and Hampshire.

End of April is the best for bluebells

One of the most beautiful places in the south of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and amazing views of Wiltshire and Dorset 🤩

Win Green at 277 m is the highest point on Cranbourne Chase. The tree topped summit also has a Bronze Age hill barrow, topography stone and trig point. Lots of great running loops from here as well as easy parking close by.

Walk here in the spring to find carpets of bluebells under the trees. The woods are great for other wildflowers as well, such as celandines, primroses and the tall spears of great mullein and foxgloves.

Win Green hill at 277m is the highest point on Cranborne Chase. The trig point affords panoramic views apart from the bit blocked by the little clump of trees on the summit. The beech trees are growing on a Bronze Age bowl barrow. It's managed by the National Trust and is often busy because it's close to a car park. Still very nice though!

The remains of a 12th-century church within the old earthworks of a Neolithic henge. A bit of a jumble of pagan and Christian worship. Look out for the remains of the old yew tree avenue.
