Bid to help Dorset folk love 'lumps and bumps'
A new project aims to increase people's awareness, knowledge and appreciation of the amazing landscape between Weymouth and Dorchester.
It is being launched on November 5 by the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty team which hopes the project will appeal to everyone who enjoys the countryside, including artists, photographers and amateur historians.
Among outstanding features of the area are the strange `lumps and bumps' which litter the skyline between Broadmayne and Hardy's Monument - and which few realise are round barrows that have been there 4,000 years.
