Walk Description:

Leaving Verwood on an unmade road we will explore the area on the outskirts of Verwood.

Part of the walk is on Dewlands Common, along bridle ways, up to a high point with views.

We walk across Crane Valley Golf course on the loop back so we need to be mindful of the golfers. They

will wave us through once they have finished their shots. We just need to wait for the go ahead. We are

on a public bridleway there.

The walk is approx 4.5 miles long, it is an easy walk with one incline. 

Be prepared for puddles and several wet muddy areas. 1 low stile.

Lots of woodland paths and gravel tracks.

Nearest toilets are at Morrison's near the roundabout where you turn off onto Springfield Road to

access the right part of Margard's lane. (This roundabout has Harlee's fish and chip shop on it)

Roadside parking opposite Haywards Farm Close just past Emmanuel C of E school. Margards Lane

becomes unmade at the point where we leave the cars.

Options for coffee afterwards at Aroma in Verwood a five minute drive away. Alternately The Monmouth

Ash pub.

Location Notes:

Go past the school campus (Verwood first School and Emmanuel Middle School. Also a sign for The Hive. Park on unmade road just past Haywards Farm Close. Nearest toilets at Ferrett Green or Morrisons.
