A good 4.6 mile circular walk over varied terrain.  We parked on the main track into Shitterton.  From ther ethe footpath starts around 100 yeards away.

Shitterton was name over 1,00 years ago and literally means 'farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer'.  Luckily, it isn't used for that purpose nowadays.

The walk climbs up a gorse lines path to Black Hill adn form there, follows the ridge west to Piddle Wood (we really couldn't make this up), on the Jubilee trail.

Bearing downhill and south through Kite Hill Plantation, the track emerges into fields and on towards Turners Puddle before tracking back uphill and contouring Black Hill to pass a lovely looking campsite.

A couple of pubs are available in Bere Regis for refreshments.
