	Tyneham (St. Mary), Dorset (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This rather bland phrasing hides the eviction of the inhabitants of the village of Tyneham, of two smaller settlements at Povington and Worbarrow, and of numerous farms.
		Tyneham, from that time onwards, ceased to exist as a real village but, as part of a carefully constructed myth of a lost English idyll, supported by occasional journalistic visits and the publication of Lilian Bond's Tyneham: a lost heritage in 1956 [20].
		Spurred by the ongoing destruction of Tyneham House, a renewed campaign to 'free' Tyneham was started in December 1967 with the publication of an article entitled 'Surrender Purbeck' in the first issue of a new journal called Dorset: the County Magazine [21].

		Indeed about 70,000 armour-piercing, high explosive and phosphorous smoke tank shells are fired in the region around Tyneham and Lulworth each year and throughout the area as far away as Wareham the locals are reminded of the fact as the Purbeck shudders to the rhythms of the military.
		Tyneham is open to the public for a week at Easter, a week over the Spring Bank Holiday, from the last week in July to the second week in September (inclusive), two weeks at Christmas and most weekends.
		After visiting Tyneham village you would be unwise to miss the opportunity of going down to the coast where you will find Worbarrow Bay which many would identify as the most picturesque stretch of the whole coastline.

	Triple Trip #3: Tyneham Village
		Most of their occupants must have been off on walks, because although the village is only a couple of hundred yards square, I bumped into fewer than a dozen other people during the two hours I wandered around, and five of those were from a single family.
		Tyneham itself is almost infinitely tranquil (well, except when I'm there, clearly), but the thick-walled church is an epically still and silent place, in which you find yourself shushing your own heartbeat.
		Tyneham shelters amid groves and avenues of trees, dappling the light and providing cool shade everywhere to protect the wandering visitor from the burning rays.

		While it still existed, Tyneham was a remote English village, hidden in a fold of the downs overlooking the Dorset coast.

		In the era of the Countryside Alliance, Tyneham is revealed to have been a training ground in a different sense: a testbed not just for tanks but for the brew of clamorous arguments - cogent, spurious, contradictory and sometimes plain toxic - that is now applied to the entire countryside.
