Why not join us this Sunday for a day long walk in our glorious countryside? See our website for more details.
This is an easy and not very long walk from Dorchester, circling round via Long Wittenham.
There is the option of a short historical walk in Dorchester from 10.15, before the main start at 11.00.
Distance, 9 miles.
Starting time: for a short historical walk in Dorchester, 10.15, for the main walk, 11.00.
Estimated finish time: 3pm.
Starting place, for both the short walk, and the main walk: at the Abbey gate entrance - some shelter there, in case needed.
Parking: Dorchester on Sunday can be difficult, so aim to park well up the High Street, where the Oxford road comes in. It is most unlikely that you will get a place at Bridge End car park at these times. Leave 5-10 minutes to walk down the High Street to the meeting place. Should anyone need pre walk sustenance, there is the Snug Cafe at Bishops Court Farm off the High Street, with parking, open from 9am.
Please bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.
Dorchester Abbey Tea Room is open from 2:30 to 5:00, for anyone looking for home made cakes.
Please note: we encourage car sharing to our walks but for personal safety do not arrange this for you.
