We are the Dorset 4050 Ramblers. We are a friendly, mixed-age group of walkers.
We begin in the sleepy village of Lytchett Matravers, dropping off the gentle hills and ultimately on a fairly level route using good paths and occasional roadways. It takes in the multiple rugged heath and pine-heavy woodland areas in Wareham’s hinterland, tracing long stretches of the Wareham Forest Way, as well as Poole Harbour Trail and the Hardy Way, including a hop up to a high point at ancient Woolsbridge Fort, and a vinous surprise near the end of our walk.
Lytchett has two pubs and we are likely to find ourselves at one for refreshments at the finish.
NOTE: only street parking is available – please car share wherever possible.
Our group walks at a fairly brisk pace, please consider the level of fitness needed for the walk distance. If you have any concerns please contact the walk leader in advance.

What you need to consider:
Meet on corner of Huntick Road and Foxhills Road. NOTE: only street parking is available – please car share wherever possible. If unable to use WhatthreeWords use ‘Huntick Road, Poole’ in Google Maps and then continue on this main road into the village. Look for the Rose and Crown pub and (if coming in from Poole) you’ve gone too far and need to turn round or (from Dorchester) turn on to Huntick Road for 75 metres where you’ll find Foxhills Road on your right. Park either on Foxhills Road or nearby Foxhills Crescent (both narrow) or on the opposite side of Huntick Road in Rozalia Meadow there’s a new housing development with roadside parking.
