Overview

A lovely circular walk with some excellent views of the surrounding Dorset countryside. 

The walk takes us through fields, woods, past Lyscombe Chapel and through the quiet villages of Antsy and Melcombe Bingham. We will pass through the Dorset Gap and the route also includes a short section on the Wessex Ridgeway. 

There are a few uphill sections on this walk, but the views from the top are well worth the climb.
