Thank you Diane. :)

Excellent walk. I was a student at Sherborne School from 1999 to 2002. The town did not change at all, just like yesterday.

Lovely views and countryside!❤ Thanks for your programme! The last time I was in Dorset was in July 2016, when me and a friend went to Wool station and then visited Bovington Tank Museum.

Lovely walk Dave. I really want to visit the old Sherborne castle, having been to the newer one in the past couple of years. The parish church in the town is incredible. The first time I saw it, I couldn’t believe it wasn’t an abbey. Sherborne is a gorgeous place to visit.

Super useful video for me because I am hoping to visit and spend a few days in Sherbourne later in the year on my way to Totnes. I think Logan could sense the ghost of Sir Walter Raleigh when you stopped for a drink as he kept looking behind. Thanks for all the info and history. Very interesting.

Sherborne is beautiful, we are lucky enough to live here. We’ve still not visited the castles or the Abbey but it’s very high on our list of things to do. I envy you going to Totnes. We lived in Devon for 14 years and it was one of my favourite places to visit.

David. Some excellent walks you have covered. I wonder whether you have considered editing-in maps identifying waymarks. By that I mean places you have stopped to take in views or features, indicated on the relevant map.

Thank you. Yes, good idea. I do try and highlight points on the route where it might be tricky to spot, say, a footpath sign (they can often be well hidden!) but perhaps including a map on screen at the same time would indeed help - particularly as you say, for the views. Thanks for watching.

A great walk Dave, and not far from us so we'll definitely give it a go! We have walked up past the castle, but then went the other way, so were interested to see your route. We look forward to all your walks, but enjoy the Dorset ones in particular as they are the most accessible for us. Thank you for all the historical facts along the way too!

Thank you. I often get asked which is my favourite place to walk & I really struggle with an answer because I just love the variety of the countryside. I am very fond of the deep woods of the New Forest, the stunning Jurassic coast, the rolling Dorset landscape, those enchanting Hampshire chalk streams, the South Downs .... I could go on! As long as the sun is shining.....!

Thank you. No, for some reason I just felt like a cup of tea that day! From memory, I think Logan ended up with a sausage roll so he was happy!

Lovely walk again Dave - Dorset never disappoints. I had to google Chapel of Ease as I'd never come across that before. I thought it would be an excellent name for the outside loo!

I was born and brought up in Hampshire, lived in Devon for 14 years and now live in Sherborne. Being retired is a bit like being on holiday a lot of the time, especially as we live in such a beautiful part of the country. However what I envy you most is going to Switzerland. I was lucky enough to go there in 1963 when I was just 11, it holds a very special place in my heart. One of my favourite places is the Lake District. I first went there in 1971 when I was at University but it’s very expensive and overcrowded these day. My other favourite place is the Scottish Highlands, it reminds me a little of Switzerland in places. But it’s a long way from Dorset!

I’m glad you pronounce Sherborne correctly, and not SherBun like some new residents do.
