About the event
The Dorset AONB is celebrated for its timeless qualities, but when you look closer you see that it is constantly changing, often in surprising ways. This talk will compare historic pictures with modern views of the same spots to find out what has, and hasn’t, changed over the past century or so. We will look at a wide variety of the towns, villages, historic sites and countryside of the Dorset AONB and consider how they may change in the next 60 years!
This event is part of our Landscape for Life Festival, celebrating 60 years of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We’ve asked some very special people who live and work in this rich and vibrant landscape to share the places they love with you. Join artists, story-tellers, wildlife experts, geologists, farmers, archaeologists to uncover what makes the landscape so outstanding… and find your own place to love along the way. See the full programme of events.
