Dorset, with its glorious coastline and gentle rolling hills, is a
walker's county. The twenty circular walks in this book vary in
length from 2 to 6 miles and are enjoyable all year round. The
author has divided the routes into seasons to show each at its very
best. In spring, Hod Hill is golden with cowslips and Abbot Street
Copse near Pamphill is a sea of bluebells. On a fine day in summer
there are wonderful views west over Dorset's Jurassic coast and the
heathland near Bere Regis is purple with heather. Autumn brings
colour to Beaminster woods and Stanpit Marsh Nature Reserve is a
splendid place to see migrant birds. To appreciate the special
atmosphere of Eggardon Hill you should walk the ramparts in winter!
Each walk is described in detail, with numbered route map and
details of the terrain. There are also points of interest that are
likely to be seen along the way and local pubs and cafes,
recommended for their food, for each route. The countryside is
infinitely varied and often spectacular. It is said that after a
tour of the Dorset you will have seen three-quarters of England!
Anne-Marie Edwards is a member of the Ramblers' Association and is
the author of many popular walking guides, including Pub Walks in
Dorset and Pocket Pub Walks in The New Forest
