More about this scene
There were several dramatic floods in the valley of the Stour in the last half of the 20th century, though its waters seem calm and restrained in this photograph. The Stour is another Dorset river well worth following from source to mouth, to gain a feel for this part of the county.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
We used to often walk along the lovely River Stour, walk under Hod Hill then over the hill, down to the road, cross over to the lane that led up to Hambledon Hill, up to the top then back to Child Okeford. I think it was in the 1950s that a dig was done on the Roman fort on Hod Hill.
In spring the hill was coverd in flowers, including the wonderful Bee Orchid.
