âYou canât go wrong, provided you donât mind a bit of rough going,â replied the landlord. âIf you go out of the village towards Wareham, youâll come upon a railway track, what they runs the trucks of stones along. That goes to Goathorn pier, a matter of six mile away or more. Follow the line for nigh on three mile, and youâll come to a clay-pit. Then, about a quarter or half a mile away, on your right, youâll see whatâs left of the place, standing up among the gorse and heather. There is a track, but itâs a long way round and plaguey hard to find if you donât know it. Now, if youâll excuse me, sir, itâs past closing time.â
