Overview

A splendid walk following the ancient and impressive Bokerley Ditch for nearly 2 miles, then a steady climb to Penbury Knoll from where there are fine, distant views across the three counties - Dorset, Hants and Wilts.From here we descend to Pentridge and return via Bowling Green Lane. Two stiles. One arable field; might be muddy.
