Shillingstone In Dorset Sunrise, 29th June 2009 over Child Okeford and the ancient Iron Age Fort of Hambledon Hill viewed from the North Dorset Trailway beside The River Stour, Shillingstone.

Shillingstone in Dorset The packhorse bridge at Fifehead Nevill, situated between Shillingstone and Hazelbury Bryan. The single-track lane, taking (optimistic) motor traffic, runs through the River Divelish, by way of a ford. This can be risky if the river is in flood, the posts indicate the depth. If they are half covered, unless you are in a fair-sized tractor forget it, there are alternative routes into Hazelbury Bryan. A favourite spot for highwaymen in the past?

Shillingstone in Dorset Night Hunter; in this case a Barn Owl. There are a number of species of owl in the Shillingstone area. As well as the Tawney and Little owls that frequent Cookwell and the forestry plantation at Conygar Coppice, a pair of Barn owls nest at Bere Marsh. All of these species can occasionally be seen, at dusk in the trees leading down to the river Stour, by the bird hide on the North Dorset Trailway. Although nocturnal, the Barn Owl is frequently seen in fading daylight.
