Overview

This walk will take us from the village of Portesham along the remains of the old railway to Abbotsbury. From Abbotsbury we head north on the Macmillan Way to Ashley Chase Dairy before heading south east crossing Bishop Road then crossing Portesham Hill and on to Hardy's Monument for the Area picnic. After lunch we descend from Hardy's Monument picking up the Jubilee Trail passing Hell Bottom before heading west back to our start point.
