One final Musical Walking Holiday to go this year…which means one final cut-back of the routes…! Nice evening for it too now the showers have cleared! 🎵🥾😎

A small path cutting-back equipment upgrade needed this year! 😬 Some of the routes were totally impassable - but happy to report (as you may have guessed from our expressions!) we are now good to go for Musical Walking Holidays 2026! 😎🎵🥾👌

Pondfield Cove looking rather glorious in the sunshine with its folded layers of limestone telling stories millions of years old, while the waves sparkle away beneath them. 🌊 A proper Purbeck gem at the end of the Tyneham valley. ☺️

This was the Rempstone woodland just below Nine Barrow Down last week. It’s always gorgeous in the spring - but it’s looking particularly super this year. Wild garlic and bluebells in abundance! ☺️

It’s that time of year again! WISTERIA WATCH! We were delighted to find New HQ equipped with a small wisteria - but it’s not quite reached its best yet. This was a fine specimen in Corfe last week though! 🥰 Come on - let’s see your favourite wisteria snaps from your area! 📸

The wild garlic is looking (and smelling!) fantastic in Purbeck at the moment! 🤩 Anyone else got some woodland snaps to share?

We had a glorious day out in various parts of Purbeck today checking over all of this year’s Musical Walking Holiday routes! A bit of cutting back needed, but other than that - everything’s a-ok! 👌🤩

What a year it’s been for bluebells?! 🤩 Jay took this shot over near Cranborne last week. Anyone else got bluebells ringing in their neck of the woods?

Hard to believe that this photo was taken at Heaven’s Gate in Purbeck on this day 8 years ago! 😮 March can be a funny old month can’t it?! Quite different out there today! ☀️ 😎
