Overview

The walk starts at Beaminster CP. We will walk down to the pretty village of Netherbury and then head west through fields and woods.  The climb up Lewesdon and descent from Gerrards are significant. Bring sticks if you don't like downhill. There are a couple of muddy patches and the vegetation is lush!

We will have a coffee stop and picnic lunch. No dogs
