Overview

This includes a stretch of a Range Walk, hence a Saturday walk when there is no firing (we hope). It is a varied walk with fields, woods, a nature reserve, a beautiful Castle and grounds, and a stretch of stunning Dorset coast. There is one very steep climb and then a gentler one. Otherwise, its fairly flat or undulating.  Some of the paths are very muddy and wet, but who knows, it may have stopped raining before then.

Picnic. No dogs.

Please park respectfully in the village. Colliers Lane or the High Street have roadside parking. Car share if you can. The walk will start at the Cross, where there is a Bakers and a triangular bit of grass. We will leave promptly at 10.00am as it is a long walk.
