Win Green and Cranbourne Chase

West Mendip Walkers 11 mile moderate walk starting at Win Green near Shaftesbury (SP7 0ES). Win Green offers vast views across the Cranbourne Chase, the Blackmore Vale and local areas of the Salisbury Plain. Views include several counties, extending to the Isle of Wight and the Purbeck Hills on a clear day. Meeting at the NT car park at Win Green, the route takes us to the summit and view point, then drops down through woodlands and open fields to the village of Berwick St John and through open grassland up onto the ridge of White Sheet Hill with views into Wiltshire. Then down across open fields to rise again to the Cranborne Droves Way with views over Dorset. A short section on a lane then takes through woods back to Win Green. 11 miles with 1300 feet of ascent. The route is generally dog friendly with a few stiles, but mainly gates. This walk has several steep climbs. Drinks afterwards at The Grove Arms in Ludwell. This is a dog friendly pub. Recently refurbished and due to reopen in August 2025, therefore details are to be confirmed.
