The author has divided the routes into
seasons to show each at its very best; in spring, Hod Hill is golden
with cowslips and Abbot Street Copse near Pamphill is a sea of
bluebells; on a fine day in summer there are wonderful views west over
Dorset’s Jurassic coast and the heathland near Bere Regis is purple with
heather; autumn brings colour to Beaminster woods and Stanpit Marsh
Nature Reserve is a splendid place to see migrant birds; to appreciate
the special atmosphere of Eggardon Hill you should walk the ramparts in
winter!
All the walks include details of:
- How to get to the start and where to park
- Numbered route map and directions
- Distance and terrain
- Recommended local pubs and cafés
- Points of interest along the way
The countryside is infinitely varied and
often spectacular. It is said that after a tour of the Dorset you will
have seen three-quarters of England!
