Walk Description:

From Corfe Mullen recreation ground we walk down to a series of fields taking in the views across to Badbury rings and Wimborne Minster.

Crossing a main road and passing along a quiet road we turn left down a track and come out at Ashington Lane. Passing several Lady Wimborne cottages in the conservation area we then cross a field. This area can be wet. We go down a short path that can get overgrown which takes us to Happy Bottom.

Happy Bottom is a small nature reserve which is part of the Corfe Barrows Nature park partnership with local landowners.

This partnership is designed to allow visitors to enjoy the local countryside and wildlife.

There is a stream which flows towards the river Stour.

Passing through we will then enter the Barrow Hill Natural greenspace which is a series of fields.

One of these fields has a boardwalk which is slippy after rain  so the route is dictated by the weather on the day.

Our return route re-enters Happy Bottom nature reserve and exits on another path which is briefly steep.

Returning back over the main road and across the rec to the cars.

The rec can be breezy as it is quite high up. The views are lovely.

There are two toilets.

Lots of free parking. Please meet near the Brownie hut.
