Beautiful Dorset

Most of the co-workers and companions go on short walks almost on a weekly basis, depending on the weather conditions. Some don't even mind wind or rain. One of the main walking routes from the Lantern is the walk towards Ringwood, passing the river Avon. Many people have probably noticed that we're extremely close to the county border and there's a post marking the end of Dorset and the beginning of Hampshire and vice versa of course, depending on which side you're on.

I've been lucky enough to experience the beauty of Dorset by going on a trip to the sea side and admiring those white cliffs formed in the Jurassic age. England has many of those nice cliffs, one might say...Seven sisters, Birling Gap near Brighton, the chalky white cliffs of Dover, Orcombe point in Devon, or Old Harry rock in Swanage. Dorset has a beautiful coastline stretching from Weymouth to Lulworth cove and probably even further then that. One of the main touristic attractions here is the famed Durdle Door. It is worth a day trip to see it, and many people from the community have been there several times. Some have even combined their trip with a visit to Corfe castle. And so have I.

One of the great advantages of being in Camphill is, that the pioneers or founders of the many places had a great admiration for nature and they learnt to live with it and cherish it. This is why the Camphill places are always or mostly situated spot on, right in the middle of nature so that today we can all appreciate its calming effects and it makes us all healthier people.
