Walk Description:

Leaving the Kingston Mauward estate we walk though fields to a small lane which we cross to another field and on to Thorncombe. Here we take the path past Thomas Hardy's cottage and on into the woods. Making our way to a stile on the other side and back into farm land.

We have a choice here to take the small lane to the Rusty duck cafe with excellent coffee and cake just a few yards further down the lane, my choice ,  or cross over and head back to Kingston Mauward Animal park where there is a cafe. 

The route whichever choice  takes us back along the river and back int the estate. 

Location Notes:

Please park in the main car park and meet in front of the shop.There are toilets behind the shop within the park area. There is no car park fee.
