Overview

This undulating 3 counties walk offers stunning views, wild flowers, butterflies and historical interest. The route crosses Martin Down alongside the ancient Bokerley Dyke, then to Pentridge in Dorset, before entering Wiltshire, taking in Vernditch Chase, the Ox Drove and returning via an ancient Roman Road.

Please let the leader know you are coming as we may set off early if all known walkers have arrived
