This took us through the spectacular countryside that can be found in this part of Dorset.

Went off on another countryside walk today, once again heading north out of Dorchester.

Sounds like #Poundbury

This location offers some fantastic countryside views, especially on a clear day like this one.

Went out for a little walk to Poundbury to get these shots from the vantage points on the road that runs around the back.

Poundbury ruined by drugs, red tape and brawling pensioners Residents living in Poundbury, which is being built on Duchy of Cornwall land in Dorset, claim the model town is no longer living up to its paradisal image.

Mr Cook laid the blame at the 'feudal' Duchy for how they interact with residents.

Residents also complained about the rules and regulations, which mean they are left 'freezing' in the winter as double glazed windows are outlawed.

Believe it or not, we ended up back where we started.

After a lunchbreak, we followed familiar territory all the way home.

We also walked past a Purple Field of Phacelia, before our end goal came into view.

We eventually reached Charminster and followed familiar paths back to Dorchester and home from there.

The downward leg was taken from Poundbury Hillfort, while the return leg here was taken from a bridge located north of Dorchester West.

We did this walk a few months ago, but this time, it's in reverse with a few differences.

A Fond Farewell, some New Urbanism and a Prince Or, why we should look to the past for a vision of the future of our new towns

At the time Poundbury was criticised for being twee and pastiche to the max, but today, in urban design terms, there is much to be said for this particular take on Dorset vernacular...

The Colas HST Test Train was the main reason for coming here today.

Back here at Poundbury Hillfort, with some of the best views you can find of the surrounding countryside, north of Dorchester.

A few images on the side. The Class 166 unit seen here was 166214, on a Gloucester bound service.

The most inappropriate location for a fountain ever and the worst thing in Poundbury right now. Located near Queen Mother Square.

You do get some great views here over the nearby hills to the north. One could imagine what I might be like to live here.

Checked out some of the garden/square areas in Poundbury during our usual weekly walk today, starting here with Hayward Square, Crown Street East & Square and Sydenham Square.

After having a break, we headed for home with Poundbury off in the distance.

Beautiful day on #Poundbury #Dorset giving the mini drone a quick run out.

Since it's next to a railway line, I did try waiting for a train, but I missed it by around 5 minutes.

Took a little diversion on our usual Friday walk into Poundbury Hillfort to take in the views on this very lovely, but incredibly boiling day.
