Take a Hike: A beautiful bimble near

Blandford | 4.5 miles

If you’re looking for a beautiful quiet circular walk near Blandford, try this stroll in a quiet spot above the Winterborne valley.

This was honestly a surprise of a route – literally plotted in under 10 minutes for a spontaneous last-minute afternoon walk. But what a brilliant find – we’ll absolutely return to do this one again and again. Despite being so close to two busy main roads (the reason we’ve not walk here before – the A354 through the Winterbornes and the A350 through Spetisbury), the walk was peaceful and unhurried, with some far-reaching views views on all sides. You circumnavigate Gorcombe Farm Activity Centre –

I’m going to guess on a busy weekend the noise from quad bikes could be irritatingly close by, but we were entirely undisturbed for the whole gentle 4.5 mile stroll on a Sunday afternoon.
