Urbex in a Ministry Of Defence Base Dorset UK
Part 1 of our Dorset series where I explore a abandoned ministry of defence Base and also discover a derelict bunker and deserted watch tower all left in a roman woodland in Dorset. The original footage of entering the Base was partly corrupted so I had to go back. On the first attempt I was chased by a guardian with a dog. Dorset is a lovely place and I cannot wait to show the rest of the series. Peace and happy hunting

Places to see in ( Fordingbridge - UK )
Fordingbridge is a town and civil parish with a population of 6,000 on the River Avon in the New Forest District of Hampshire, England, near to the Dorset and Wiltshire borders and on the edge of the New Forest. It is 81 miles (130 km) southwest of London, and 10 miles (16 km) south of the city of Salisbury. Fordingbridge is a former market town. The Avon Valley Path passes through the town.
Fordingbridge is a town and civil parish in Hampshire on the banks of the River Avon. The first Great Bridge, from which the town received its present name, was built in mediaeval times, and is upstream from the ford. The bridge is a major feature of the town with its seven graceful arches, which can be seen very easily from the town's large riverside park where one can walk along the riverbank draped with willows and waterside plants. Close by is a children's play area, secluded memorial gardens, parks and sports playing fields. A bronze statue of the painter Augustus John stands on the banks of the Avon near the Great Bridge.
Not far from the High Street is the parish church of St. Mary the Virgin which has some typical Norman characteristics. Lands in Fordingbridge and the advowson of the church were granted to King's College, Cambridge in 1447 by Henry VI, after being given to the Crown by Humphrey, Duke of Buckingham.
The Fordingbridge Museum, which houses local history exhibits, and the Visitor Information Centre are located in King's Yard. There is also a Roman villa in the nearby village of Rockbourne, which is open to visitors during the summer. The local comprehensive school is The Burgate School And Sixth Form Centre, which is situated in Burgate, a small hamlet to the north of the town. Fordingbridge Hospital is a small community hospital on the site of a Victorian workhouse. Most of the old buildings remain but the inpatient ward is a more recent addition. The town's medical centre is on the same site in Bartons Road
Since 1982 Fordingbridge has been twinned with Vimoutiers in Normandy. Fordingbridge is also home to Fordingbridge Turks FC, one of the 50 oldest football clubs in England, established circa 1868. The Turks name seems to derive from wishing to emulate the determination shown by Ottoman forces at Siege of Plevna. The recreation ground is also home to Fordingbridge Rugby Club, who have been one of the more successful Hampshire clubs in recent years.
The parish of Fordingbridge contains the hamlets of Burgate to the north, Criddlestyle to the east, Bickton to the south, and Ashford to the west. Burgate and Bickton are settlements dating back to the time of the Domesday Book, and in fact Bickton was a larger settlement than Fordingbridge in 1086. Criddlestyle is an ancient manor, also known as East Mill, with a history dating back to the 14th century. The largest hamlet today is Ashford, which was the location of an ancient watermill, and was the location of Fordingbridge railway station until it was closed in 1964.
The first bridge at Fordingbridge was built before 1252, when the bailiff and men of the town received a grant of pontage for one year towards its repairs. A custom which survived until 1840 obliged the lord of Fordingbridge during one summer month known as fence month to keep the bridge guarded and arrest anyone found taking venison from the New Forest.
( Fordingbridge - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Fordingbridge . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Fordingbridge - UK

Saxon Square will be transformed into a Vegan and Vegetarian market.

Before the main event kicks off, a Party Night is taking place in the demonstration theatre and the celebrations continue with a Gala Dinner at the Captain's Club Hotel on June 9.
FESTIVAL STREET MARKET AND FESTIVAL VILLAGE
The Street Market is in Christchurch High Street and town centre with over 100 stalls, many of them local producers of top quality products, selling a huge range of everything to do with food whether it is ingredients, cookware, food to eat at home or a takeaway to enjoy whilst browsing.
Down on Christchurch Quay (or the Quomps as it is known) is the Festival Village, which will be in its fifth year. The Demonstration Theatre provides the focal point, with a full schedule of chefs, both celebrity and local, demonstrating all sorts of great dishes.
Saxon Square plays host to the Vegan and Vegetarian Quarter showcasing some incredible foods, be sure to walk that they on your way to the Festival Village.
Last but definitely not least is Alley Market (opposite Marks & Spencers) which includes a number of fabulous artisan stalls.

The Fun Kids Kitchen is sponsored by Christchurch Rotary in association with Christchurch Food Festival Education Trust, promoting a passion for learning about where food comes from and hands-on cookery. Children can enjoy making fruity scone bread twists, Italian meatballs and a curry during this year's range of sessions.
