From Abbots Well car park, we walk west along Hampton Ridge, with far reaching views, into Island Thorns Inclosure to Fritham. Crossing Fritham Plain, we pass Sloden Inclosure and drop down via Splash Bridge into Broomy Inclosure. After crossing Dockens Water, we head back to Abbots Well across Ogden's Purlieu with a steady ascent up Windmill Hill to the car park. The terrain is open and exposed heathland which can be very hot or wet depending on the weather conditions. Some pleasant walking in ancient woodlands. Good tracks, no stiles. Map: OL22.
