Soak up the scenery as you walk with retired Dorset rights of way officer Chris Slade.
Park near the church and, after visiting it, walk south west down the road a short distance to a junction. Cross over and join a byway which continues south westwards, after nearly a mile being demoted to bridleway status.
After another half a mile there’s a crossing of ways with the Jubilee Trail. Turn right and follow the bridleway north westwards along a field edge for half a mile then, upon meeting another bridleway, veer north and make your way for about three furlongs long to the road.
Turn right and head eastwards along the road, being aware of traffic as there’s no pavement. After about a mile you’ll be back at the village which you might like to explore, or even visit the pub, before returning to your car.
You’ll have walked over four miles of fairly easy terrain an enjoyed some good views.
