Watch Countryfile on Sunday

8/5/2021

 
​​​Cranborne Chase AONB will be featuring on Countryfile at 6pm this Sunday, 9 May.

We'll only know what's on when we watch, but several items they filmed complement topics covered in our own schedule of talks and field trips so may be of particular interest.  Knowledge, practice and understanding are growing all the time, so it's well worth tuning in to catch up on:
