Abbie's walks are a million times more engaging than any of those presented by Julia Bradbury.

I walk from swanage to corfe castle and back recently, it was amazing walk. I love Dorset

Jings Abbie, you gave me the fear there.. that ledge was narrow.

So happy to have found this video, rather late, but better late than never. I walked the Purbeck Way from Swanage to Corfe Castle as a Girl Guide about sixty years ago, and have never forgotten it. Thank you so much.

I had to close my eyes when you were on the edge there!

I don't live in England anymore, but the thing I miss the most is walking in the countryside and national parks, so I find your videos are great as I can live vicariously through you :)

Kelly , I agree. I live in Portugal where we have fabulous food, lovely people, perfect weather and low levels of crime . However ... the scenery is poor when compared to the U.K. ! It’s a pity , seems you can’t have everything!

Thanks again for taking us along with you!

Great hike again Abbie! That trail near Harry's rock was totally insane looking!!!!!!!

Love to see that beautiful smile and positive attitude on a Monday morning. Thank you. You don't mind standing on edges! I get more than a bit nervous when I hike on the coast.

A beautiful landscape Abbie. The birdsong is wonderful. Thanks for sharing this walk. It brings back many memories for me. Corfe Castle is stunning.

Brilliant! Added to the list! My legs went wobbly watching the cliff edge shots but wow, what views!

I am working my way through your walks, being a new subscriber. This walk had it all, beautiful scenery, nature, charming villages, and a castle! Quintessential England.❤🇬🇧 These videos are like taking a mini vacation for me. They also get me out and walk here where I live so I, too, can experience the beauty of my area. Thank you, Abbie.👍❤🇬🇧🐦🐇🌳❤

If you stand on Old Harry (Paye)'s Rocks and look east, across fourteen miles of open water, you can see the corresponding row of chalk sea stacks at The Needles on the Isle of Wight!

Wow you're brave standing on that ledge! 16:18 . Stunning views.

Was great fun!

It's always a joy to watch your vlogs !

I asked at the Camping and Caravan Show as to why touring caravans were almost always white and not any other colour, maybe even painted to match their owner's cars? The answer unsurprisingly is heat. If they were painted say a dark green, they'd be like ovens. Burnbake Forest campsite is very cool and relaxed and even has a resident stag that wanders among the tents. No caravans allowed. Well recommended.

Lovely video Abbie. I always like it when your walks incorporate places of historical interest. The Corfe area is of interest to me as my great-great grandfather hailed from there. I've never visited but it looks lovely and the castle looks fabulous.

Really enjoyed this, I used to have a dairy farm at worth matravers lots of lovely memories, you're great!!

When I stayed in Swanage last summer, I had no idea about Old Harry Rocks at all which can't be seen from the beach. All I knew was that my plan for the following day was to find a route up to the end of that cliff seen on the left side of the bay so Old Harry was a lovely surprise. I think I took a different route up. Took the steam train to Corfe & the castle the following day but weather wasn't great. I was very lucky to arrive during the last 20 mins of the falconry display which was great fun to watch with one of five perigrin falcons swooping over our heads as we sat on the hill.

Great video Abbie. Fantastic views, but put my teeth on edge a bit when you stood on that path at Old Harry’s Rocks with a sheer drop either side! Must be an age thing. When I was about your age I went to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe with my Dad. There was no consideration for safety there and I went and sat right at the edge. I turned around to see my Dad looking a bit green and saying “Come away from the edge a bit please mate!” 😂😂😂🤣

I’m a new subscriber and have absolutely been loving your videos! I love that you take that time to teach us little bits and pieces and about the moth caterpillars and the sea stacks. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re a beautiful soul x

just recently found your walks - you make them so interesting. This was one of may favs by far. Glad you had time to see the castle, such a powerful place.

I'm sat in my London flat and my heart is set on moving to swanage in 3 months. Your videos are getting me so excited!!!

I've wild camped at Old Harry Rocks in a thunderstorm. Was amazing. Thanks for sharing

Another great vid and what looks like an excellent walk. Mind you watching you stand on that narrow track on the ledge at Harry's made my head go spinning, couldn't stand on that track vertigo would kick in and my legs would wobble like hell. Well done. Will carry on viewing, stay wild.....

Just love your joy and enthusiasm for a trail, vastly superior than Julia Bradbury's walking programs on the BBC. Your nitration is informative, interesting and really gives you a great sense of feeling for a trail. You should try the Southern Upland Way if you haven't done it already, be warned it's a bit of a beast and makes the Pennine Way feel a walk in the park.

Excellent video, really informative history and your enthusiasm is infectious!

I nearly puked when you walked on that cliff edge 😲

I would seriously die of fright from walking on that cliff ridge!

What a lovely walk Abbie, wish it were possible for me to join you on a walk. I will settle for your video's. Never stop!

Gosh, you really have to watch your step there. It's a wonder they still allow the public on that narrow strip you were on..

Great video, Abbie. I did a coastal walk from a campsite at Harman's Cross two years ago, all the way to Old Harry Rocks. For my return, I could've backtracked to Swanage and caught the train direct to the campsite... But I couldn't resist a walk along the Purbeck ridge! :-) I also found it hard to follow the coast path through that built-up area... I ended up beside a corner shop, somehow, before eventually finding my way up to the cliffs. I didn't have your courage to walk along that ridge though!! ;-) If you ever visit the National Trust house Kingston Lacy (which also belonged to the Banks family), you'll find the original keys to Corfe Castle are on display on one of the walls!

You took me back in time with your video. I did this walk a few years ago with one of my daughters. What did you have ib your pack , also which pack do you have? Such a beautiful place

Love your videos and how u show England with smile on your face and positivity. Keep going 💪. One question how long it takes u to walk from Corfe Castle to Old Harry Rocks 🪨?

went camping for a week were you started in july haha!

I have fallen behind with my video watching and have some catching up to do, starting with this one. Truly amazing. Loved it although my heart skipped a beat when you were on that edge! Have you stopped smiling yet? Two random questions. When was this filmed? What watch are you wearing, would you recommend it and could you review it? Cheers.

@AbbieBarnesWILD

Thanks Ken! My watch is a G-Force watch and I would absolutely recommend it. And this was filmed in... May? I think!!!

Then there was King Harald, the Viking king. Maybe when he wasn't busy raiding and pillaging in France or Normandy or wherever, he stopped down there to give those merchant ships what for! :-0

Have you ever followed the Purbeck way on the other direction from Corfe, the one that goes down to chapmans pool and winspit etc to swanage? Loving your videos very inspirational! Thanks.

Abbie, l really love your videos and usually press Like before Play so it's a bit difficult to have to disagree with you about something. At the risk of appearing po-faced, pirates were thieves, plain and simple. Don't swallow the Disneyfied image of them... On a more positive note, given your love of castles, have you visited Goodrich and Raglan Castles? They're great!

Nice walk Abbie. Thanks for sharing. What campsite did you stay at?

I'm going to be staying in Swanage this year for a couple of months so I especially liked to see the Dorset ones. My parents always used to take me there as a kid. It will be especially nice as I live in California now and so to go back home to visit the Uk is always lovely.Anyway,thanks for the reply. I have a lot in common with you. You're like a younger version of me. lol

Interested to see what you had in your pack for the day too. How much water did you take/use? (I'm guessing a litre?)
