  • Revealing Rempstone Stone Circle
    Apr 28 2024

    In this episode, David, Henry, and Ross embark on a journey between the imposing Corfe Castle and the idyllic coastal village of Studland. Along the way, they detour to uncover the shrouded secrets of Rempstone Stone Circle.


    Nestled beneath a canopy of ancient holly and fir trees, the trio explores the weathered remains of this 4,000-5,000-year-old monument. Their exploration takes an unexpected turn as they encounter remnants of local tradition. They craft a symbolic "Green Man" offering and fling mud at a bewildered Ross.
