#DorsetDay
Happy #DorsetDay! Fill your ears with the sounds from this beautiful county.

Start with Chesil Beach, one of the best places for an intense seascape.
Or listen to 32 minutes.

Episode 285 - Late October on Chesil Beach (sleep safe)

Just the sound of the waves and the pebbles.
No one else around.

It’s #DorsetDay, and what better way to celebrate than exploring Britain’s largest and most iconic chalk figure, the Cerne Abbas Giant, whose origins have puzzled archaeologists and historians for centuries! 🧵

With the #Durotriges25 trench prepared, where better to spend #DorsetDay evening than the Iron Age ramparts of Maiden Castle hillfort

Who better to spend it with than the wonderful people of @buarchanth.bsky.social @thesanctuary.bsky.social

See you all tomorrow!!

It's #DorsetDay so in celebration we're resharing some news on the "Innovative ancient burial site found to be older than Stonehenge".

Archaeological research conducted on the prehistoric burial site known as Flagstones has revealed that it's the earliest known large circular enclosure in Britain.🧵

Happy #DorsetDay, everyone! What about making it a nationwide #CountyDay tradition to send a postcard to someone in a different county? It could be fun! #CountyPostcardDay 🥳📮💛 britishcountyflags.com/county-days/

Happy Dorset day folks! The feast day of St Wite, patron saint of Dorset, a Saxon Holy woman who died around 831AD. Her shrine in the Church of St Candida and Holy Cross at Whitchurch Canonicorum escaped desecration during the 16th century Reformation. #Dorset #DorsetDay

Happy Dorset Day! 🌿
 
From the shores of Poole Harbour, through our vibrant villages, to the heathlands of Wareham – today we’re celebrating everything that makes Dorset special.

Elections for Dorset in the 18th century were rarely contested. From 1754 - 1790 there were no contests at all. One member, Humphry Sturt, sat for 30 years but seems never to have bothered to speak: "Parliamentary managers were often uncertain or wrong in their political estimate of him."

It's #DorsetDay and here's one of our posts on a 19th century Dorset MP. Henry Sturt faced a dilemma over whether to follow constituency opinion or his party leader over the contentious question of the corn laws: victoriancommons.wordpress.com/2019/03/29/c...
