June 2020 - Great walk in picturesque Purbeck. Parked up at Worth Matravers. A couple of miles in and I arrived at St Aldhelm’s Head where, as well as the classic chalk and limestone rock structures, there’s some interesting things: a curious looking sculpture of two hemispheres and a chapel that looked as if it had been dropped there. The hemisphery thing is a memorial. It represents two radar dishes which are arranged in such a way that they also form a large fire basket. This reflects both ancient and modern methods to warn of invasion: fires were lit as beacons to warn of the Spanish armada while radar forms the modern equivalent. The structure was assembled with assistance from a team of local residents. The stainless steel memorial is set on a Purbeck stone plinth. The tiered stone base is also a good resting place for weary walkers - and allows them spectacular views of the coastline. The nearby isolated chapel, dedicated to St. Aldhelm, first Bishop of Sherborne, stands on cliffs 108 metres above sea level. Followed the coast past Winspit to Dancing Ledge where I enjoyed a couple of little scrambles.
