Sunny Moreton - Dorset

Image
Morton near Weymouth – 26th June for 10 Days The CCC site at Morton in Dorset was to be our camp for a fabulous 10 days of full on sunshine. Having booked to avoid the Summer Holidays, I was amazed' just how busy this site was, but bearing in mind that Swanage and Weymouth are only a short drive away (approx. 20 minutes) it was not surprising that this was a popular site for tourers. The site lived up to the CCC reputation for efficiency and cleanliness, and with the railway station on the doorstep, well, just down from the pub made travelling very easy. Moreton Church is worth a visit just to see the etched glass windows; as too is the grave of Lawrence of Ariba, all nearby the site – and don’t forget to stop by the tea shop – fantastic cakes! Just down from the church is a large ford which was perfect for the children to paddle in trying to catch the minnows with their nets.
