This week's walk is through woodland and countryside we had never been before, between Bridport and Dorchester.

From Dorchester, it is the turning on the right just before the dual carriageway, at the bottom of the hill opposite the turning for Long Bredy and Litton Cheney. You can park just on the left when you turn in.

It is just under three and a half miles and takes around one and a half hours.

As you start walking towards the farm, go through the big black gate, but take care as the path is quite slippery.

Follow the path for some time and you will come to a large wooden gate, go through it and walk towards the road. just before the road, go through the gate on your left.

This path will come to another gate, go through it and follow the path through the field to the right towards another gate.

Keep following the path and when you get to a t-junction, take the path on the left. Keep following it past farm buildings and keep left.

Follow the road back to the start.

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.

Please leave gates as you find them - if you opened it, close it.

Please keep dogs on leads around livestock.
