As previously noted we are taking as our focus this year those lengths of the boundary coincident with those 'registered' by Anglo-Saxon charters. Our first meeting will follow up that of June last year exploring the eastern length of Landshire Lane between Dorset and Somerset.With an interest expressed by the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society through the good offices of David Reid.

Back to the the Dorset/Somerset County Boundary east of the B357 between Stalbridge and Henstridge; we have the kind permission of the farmer Rob Selway to park up in the Wardshill farmyard on the south side of Landshire Lane, ST734192. Turn east onto Landshire Lane from the B357, driving over the former narrow railway bridge (the road edges of which have been recently 'white lined') and on the right-hand side there comes immediately into view the well-appointed Wardshill Farm house in a garden and just beyond this is the turning into the large farmyard - with a barn.
