We are the Dorset 4050 Ramblers. We are a friendly, mixed-age group of walkers.
This is a moderate walk over forest paths, farm tracks, and unmade rights of way across farmland, which may be uneven or muddy in places.
Starting from the Affpuddle forest car park, we first walk over to Affpuddle, then make our way to Moreton for lunch. In Moreton, we visit St.Nicholas church and the grave of Lawrence of Arabia. After lunch we walk via Clouds Hill to Turners Puddle. Finally we return to the cars via Briantspuddle and Culpeppers Dish.
Expect the usual 4050 reasonably brisk pace.

Affpuddle Forest Car Park (Free) on the B3390 between Crossways and Affpuddle. At the crossroads on the B3390, take the turning signposted Bere Regis, and the car park entrance is immediately on your right. The entrance to the carpark is quite narrow to keep out large camper vans.
