Ridgeway Explorations to Poxwell

Late afternoon in January up along the ancient South Dorset Ridgeway with views across Weymouth Bay to Portland and above the famous White Horse depicting King George III riding away from his favourite seaside town towards Poxwell.

 

King George was advised to spend as much time as possible by the sea for the benefit of his health. He would often ride along the Ridgeway to visit his friend at Poxwell Manor.

 

You can just make out two of the 'stranded' Cruise Ships inside Portland Harbour, probably to shelter from Storm Christophe
