This is another video in my series “ Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the village of Martinstown (also known as Winterborne St Martin) which is located 4 miles to the South West of Dorchester.
My 4 mile circular walk starts & finishes in the village and indeed I park my car at the village hall. Starting at the Western end of the main street, I pass by the Brewers Arms pub on my way to check out an old Sheep Wash Pool (now no longer in use). My route then takes me to the village green & the church of St Martin before I head out into the countryside.
I follow a farm track past Clandon Hill (with it's impressive barrow on top) towards my main destination for the walk – Maiden Castle.
Maiden Castle is one of the largest Iron Age Hill Forts in the UK but it's history goes back to at least 4,000BC. I spend a fair bit of time exploring the fort and enjoying some stunning views all around including Dorchester & Poundbury to the North.
My homeward leg takes me initially Northwards down a pretty valley before I head Westwards back to Martinstown along some enchanting footpaths.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX IMPORTANT NOTE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I am sorry about the quality of the image stabilization on the video, which is not that great at times. I was using a Gopro 10 camera for the first time (they had only recently been available to buy) and all users of the camera were experiencing issues & problems with the stabilization when either standing still or moving slowly! A Firmware update has since been provided by Gopro and I am pleased to say that the issue has now been resolved. I hope that it does not spoil your enjoyment of the video.

I use a GOPRO HERO 7, 8 or 10 Black Action Camera (sometimes with a Gimbal) & a Rode microphone (either a “Shotgun” or a Rode Wireless Go) together with a Canon Powershot SX530 HS.
