Surrounded by fluffy Water Dropwort

and looking like it has always been there!

Dorset Art Weeks is here!

The Radipole Stone is now one of seven sculptures out alongside the nature trail for Dorset Ar Weeks.  the full trail takes about 45 minutes to walk – but allow more time for wildlife and sculpture sightings! Sarah will be there on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from midday to 4pm, working on The Radipole Stone.
