Youth Hostel, Cerne Abbas, Dorset
Distant view of the youth hostel at Cerne Abbas, Dorset. At the rear is the Cerne Abbas Giant carved into the hillside in chalk. The hostel, on Sherborne Road, was originally built in in 1836-7 as the Cerne Union workhouse, designed by Charles Wallis. It operated as a youth hostel from 1932 until 1955, then became the Giant View flats. The much altered building is now a care home for the elderly
