Overview

East towards the Giant then north towards Giant’s Head Farmhouse. Going further northeast to Buckland Newton, then west towards Lyons Head Farm. Southwest to Minterne Magna and Up Cerne wood. Then south back to the car park.

Depending on the weather I may reduce the length of the walk from 11 to 10 miles.
