We are the South Dorset Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We start from near Thorncombe Farm and rise slowly past Lyscombe Bottom. We then drop down to the pretty hamlet of Plush before rising again until we reach the Wessex Ridgeway. We go past Ball Hill and onwards to the Dorsetshire Gap, passing close to Higher Melcombe before returning via Lyscombe Farm and Chapel.
This is a hilly walk through beautiful, undeveloped Dorset countryside.
Picnic lunch
No dogs.
Please check the website on the evening before the walk (after 7pm) for the unlikely event that the walk needs to be cancelled for any reason (eg, bad weather)
