Overview

This walk offers considerable variety and includes the large hill forts of Hambledon and Hod Hills from which there are panoramic views across the Stour Valley. Also passing through local villages and a section of Blandford Forest, the route follows sections of The Stour Valley Way, The Wessex Ridgeway and The Jubilee Trail. Some steep ascents and descents with 1480' total ascent. 

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Phil H 07831379129) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)
