An interesting 6 mile circular walk form Goring to Cray's Pond and back taking in a variety of terrain.
Free parking can be found on a quiet street in Cleeve with the footpath accessible at the far end.
Elvendon Priory can bee seen as well as Flint House.
A lovely 5.9 mile circular walk around Studland Heath with fantastic views over Poole and Bournemouth.
The route visits the Agglestone Rock, a sandstone block of about 400 tonnes weight, perched on a conical hill. Legend has it that the devil threw the rock from The Needles on the Isle of Wight with the intention of hitting either Corfe Castle, Bindon Abbey or Salisbury Cathedral."Aggle" was taken into the old Dorset dialect as meaning "to wobble".*
A very pleasant 3.7 mile walk around the hamlet of Idsworth.
We found road side parking near St Huberts Chapel, a Mediaeval church in the middle of the adjacent field.
The route follows the valley and returns through Markwells Wood.
An enjoyable 4.8 mile circular walk from the picturesque village of Fingest, gently uphill to Cadmore End, following the ridge before descending to Fingest again.
There are nice pubs at both ends, with The Chequers Inn being more off the beaten track (although busier at weekends).
A glorious 6.1 mile walk from the enchanting village of Selworthy, climbing up through Selworthy Coombe onto Bossington Hill and Selworthy Beacon, one of the highest points on Exmoor and one of Englands 'Marilyns'.
The alk along the plateau gives great views over Minehead and, once on the seaward side, a choice can be made to take a lower route to experience more of the cliff path. We chose the higher route as we were limited for time. It's still a fantastic walk.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
A hilly 4 mile circular walk with a particularly steep section near the beginning. The walk begins from the car park at Kimmeridge Bay (a pay booth is at the top of the private road).
After leaving the car park and passing the fishermen's cottages, you'll cross a field before heading up a very steep footpath (questioning whether it really is a footpath). Once at the top though, the views are outstanding and, following the ridge toward Tyneham Cap is a treat.
A good 7 mile walk with some lovely views of the area. There's free parking at the sports centre just on the west side of the village and the footpath start next to it. Some hilly sections. There's also an historic Stone Age Motte just below the playing fields.
There's a pub in the village and a local village shop.
