Where to go in West Dorset in Feb? (1 Viewer)

Hi All - advice and guidance please.......

I am visiting the inlaws in Melplash this February and have a pass for a mornings birding. Apparently Maiden Newton for can be good for dipper (I saw it mentioned on another post) - is this a possibility? Where else can I get a good few hours birding reasonably close by - 30 mins max in the car?

TIA

Perry

Any thoughts?

Perry Grin - I see no one answered this but we [family] spent the summer in Charmouth and went to the Melplash farm show in August. We stay at a cottage next to the National Trust land [car parks quite high and near the coastal path] that follow the coast back from Charmouth towards Melplash [Lymme Regis being the other way].

We walked up to Golden Cap [although very windy when we did it] but views were spectacular. I'm guessing that this is probably half hour from melplash - the OS Ranger maps will show you where and I'll have a look.

We will return to the cottage this August and will again visit the Melplash Farm show.

Not sure if this helps for future trips for you.
