This is a delightful walk through farmland and the village of Lytchett Matravers, This rather ordinary village is situated in such a way as to offer beautiful views whichever way you choose to walk. Once described, I understand, in a broadsheet weekend newspaper, as a village in Dorset with two polo fields and a vineyard! There is some walking on Lanes and there are a number of stiles . One short steep descent with steps and one hill worth mentioning! Not bad !
