This is another video in my series “Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the village of Portesham (6 miles South West of Dorchester) and explore the iconic Hardy Monument at the top of Black Down.
It was a special walk for both of us as it was our 100th “walk video” together on the channel!
Our 4.5 mile circular route started & finished in Portesham itself and after a quick look around the village (including the church & a very pretty little pond) we headed North to climb up to the Hardy Monument.
Along the way, as well as enjoying some spectacular views, we looked at the “Hell Stone” (a Neolithic Dolmen) as well as a a disused farmhouse. After walking through some enchanting woods (with a wonderful display of bluebells) we made it to the monument where once again there were some stunning views.
Our return journey took us along the ridge of Bronkham Hill where there were a number of ancient burial barrows as well as a few sinkholes! On the way back we passed the magnificent Waddon House and finished off with a small detour to explore the abandoned quarry just outside the village.
At the end of the video I have added some film footage providing an update on my new puppy, “Fiver”.

I use a GOPRO HERO 7 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.
