We are the Wessex Wanderers Railway Walks. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A linear walk across varied terrain, starting with fields and farms, some of which are likely to be wet and muddy, with some woodland paths and streams to cross. We continue on a steady climb on a quiet lane to Gore Hill, to walk along the hilltop paths with stunning views across Dorset down land. We then drop down into Sydling St Nicholas before the final ascent to cross the A37 and down into Maiden Newton.
Bring picnic lunch.
Pace will be brisk when conditions allow. Walking boots recommended, and trekking poles (if used) advised.
Registered assistance dogs only - please phone leader beforehand.
