Walk Description:

A new route from Marcia's Farm. 

(The first section can be very wet so we may miss this part out.)

Taking a loop across the river/weir, we walk along the water meadows before crossing the river by

bridge to the main road.

From here we head up to the trailway. Going away from the old railway station we

walk along this excellent trail, then climb uphill into woods emerging onto fields and grassy paths.

We will go past an old tower used in the past for silage and into some beautiful countryside with

stunning views. 

There is a downhill section which could be slippy after rain. A quiet lane joins some grassy paths and a

field then gently up hill into woodland A long descent leads down a country lane to Charlton Marshall.

From here up onto the trailway then a mile on the flat before arriving in Spetisbury.

Oct 2024, Marcia's Farm and the Shack are now on winter hours so in the week are closed until 4pm.

You may wish to bring a snack and coffee to have on the walk or afterwards.

Toilets are right at the back of the building accessed across the yard.

This walk is around 6 miles. One uphill section is made easier by going up through the wood on a

gradual gradient.

Good walking shoes required. 

Location Notes:

The turning into Clapcotts Farm is opposite Spetisbury Primary School. It is at the far end of the village if you are coming from Wimborne on the right hand side on A350. The turning is tucked awayso look for Marcias Market sign....There is large un-tarmacked parking area where we can park.
