Walk of the week: Meander around Maiden Castle
By Lottie Welch
9th Jul 2021 | Local News
We have introduced a walk of the week for our newsletter subscribers to enjoy over the weekend.
Each Friday we will be sharing a circular walk in and around our local area with directions and photos. We use the OS Map app, which is very useful if you are out walking.
This week's walk is around Maiden Castle and is approximately two and a half miles, taking around one hour. There are some steep inclines.
Start at Maiden Castle car park and walk up the gravel path to the right of it. After the first gate there is a gate on the right off the track. Go through it and turn left, going straight, past a right hand turn.
When you get to a metal gate the footpath goes round to the left or straight on, take the path going straight on. Follow this path until you come to a road.
Turn left onto the road and follow it for just over three quarters of a mile until you see a footpath on the left signposted Maiden Castle. Go through the wooden gate on the right of the metal gate and walk up the hill.
You will reach Maiden Castle. Take some time to explore it - there's lots to see - before making your way back to the car park on the other side of the hill to the left.
This walk is just a suggestion, you can of course take any different routes you wish to make it more direct or make it longer. Always take extra care where the ground is uneven or wet.
