Overview

This walk takes us from Pamphill in a northerly direction along the Hardy Way and King Down Drove to Badbury Rings. From here we head in a south westerly direction to the village of Shapwick where we stop for lunch. After lunch we follow the Stour Valley Way to White Mill and Kingston Lacy cottage gardens and the Hardy Way back to our start point.
