Easy hikes and walks around Chickerell

After the storm of November 1924, only the choir of the small, Anglo-Saxon church remained.

A picturesque trek, with relatively easy paths and very enjoyable.

To explain the patronage of this place of worship, which is not dedicated to one person, but to the "Holy Trinity" - God the Father, God the Son and Holy Spirit; ONE God in THREE persons - from the publisher's information for the book "GOD, YOU THREE" by Father Reinhard Körner: "For Father Reinhard Körner, the Trinity is ... a certainty that can be experienced in life. He takes the reader on a journey of discovery of his personal faith history: to the one God in three persons - to God who is community. In spiritual literature from the past and present, in art and in theology, he finds this ... Christian view of God. Living with the triune God can change one's own faith, one's own way of praying and living together with other people in the church, and ultimately also in society. Because a God who is community, relationship and love in himself means hope for all people. A secret worth rediscovering." (Source: https://www.borromedien.de/produkt-1994/gott_ihr_drei/11241557 )

Such strong currents in the lagoon, make sure you are competent in your kayak or canoe abilities. Swimming is not recommended in this area.

An extensive oasis of relative calm compared with the open sea across Chesil Beach, the Fleet Lagoon is a vital shelter and feeding area for wildlife. This long, shallow stretch of water is England’s largest lagoon at around 480 hectares. Home to the famous Abbotsbury Swannery and large numbers of over-wintering Brent geese, the Lagoon draws wildlife watchers to its shores. Visitors can also see other resident and migrant birds like little terns, wigeon, pochard, coots, even an occasional passing osprey. In addition to its birds, the Fleet Lagoon Marine Protected Area also protects numerous plants and animals. Several marine plants like seagrasses, stoneworts and salt marsh, and animals like lagoon sandworms, lagoon sand shrimps and the rare DeFolin’s lagoon snail all benefit from the Fleet’s status as an MPA. The Fleet Lagoon is also an important nursery area for several types of fish like bass, black bream, sand smelt, mullets and gobies. Commercial fishing does occur in the Fleet although it is tightly controlled and limited in its extent. Toward the seaward end, oysters are also farmed commercially.

This church is relatively new, as it was built in the early 19th century to replace the old church, which suffered significant damage in the Great Storm of 1824. It is listed as a Grade I Building.
