Come our Frontier Town between Hampshire and Dorset ; dawn starts at 4.30 am as the night sounds give way to the dawn; blackbird followed by blackcap, wren and chaffinch with the wood pigeon on double bass……….’take two turns taffy, take two turns taffy ,take’. The night folk pull up the duvet and have a well earned lie-down – fox, hare ,bat and tawny owl – they give way to the dawn chorus and the day at Maple Field begins.
You could go to Fordingbridge and swim in the lido or the river. The kiosk is selling coffee and Nigel’s world famous pork pies…….the Riverside Park covers 11 acres with the River Avon lining its edge. Or you could walk up Townsend Lane (photo) and sweep onto the 1000 acre Nature Reserve like an 18th century shepherd, or you could follow the Roman Road (Ackling Dyke) which forms our western Parish Boundary (maps in the Barn) ………or sit and talk to me about the Neolithic Transition;
Deep Mulch No-Dig veg gardening and small-scale dairy farming or better still – go to Lulworth Cove, but be back in time for the Music evening at Martin Club right opposite the camp site where you can jiggle and rave until midnight. Why be anywhere else?
