Overview

Starting in the Newton part of Sturminster Newton, we head out along the Hardy Way to Fifehead Neville, with a short ‘rook’ to St Quintin. Then north to Haydon, before the return.

Varied terrain, but PLEASE NOTE there is a very rutted section of bridleway which we will take slowly, and for which stout footwear and walking poles are recommended. The plus side is that it is flat.
