Overview

Woods, woods and more woods.......and only two stiles.

Starting at the highest village in Dorset we head for the trees..

Washers Bottom, to Stubhampton Bottom, Ashcombe Bottom and back to our cars.

Much of the walk will be under tree cover.

Almost all the walk is on footpaths or forest tracks.
