Walk Description:
Setting off from the centre of Wimborne St Giles a walk in beautiful rural Dorset countryside followed by
optional afternoon tea at the village hall.
As we climb up from the village we are rewarded by views towards Penbury Knoll in one direction and
Horton Tower in the other.
Taking various trail ways we will go through woodland towards Ackling Dyke and near to the Roman
road.
The walk returns along grassy paths then partly on a quiet road.
The walk is around 6 miles and will take around 2.5 hours or slightly over.
For the road section paws suggested on poles. Dress for long grass and be tick aware.
There are toilets in the village hall which is a few minutes walk from the parking. The hall should be
open when we arrive.
The afternoon tea is by a different organization each Sunday and raises money to fund
upcoming projects. On this Sunday we will be supporting the Sixpenny Handley First School.
Please park by the wall as you enter the village. If arriving from Wimborne direction be aware the first
turning to the village is very narrow. The second road in is a bit wider. Allow extra time for this part of
the journey.
Location Notes:
Park in the centre of the village, free on street parking opposite the school, alongside the brick wall. Meet in the same location. You can also park at the Village Hall as we are having teas there afterwards. However, if possible park on the street to keep spaces at village hall for people going there whilst we are on walk.
