Dorset, with its glorious coastline & gentle rolling hills, is a walker`s county. The twenty circular walks in this book vary in length from 2 to 6 miles & 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 & 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 & the heathland near Bere Regis is violet with heather. Autumn brings colour to Beaminster woods & 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 & details of the terrain. There are also points of interest that are likely to be seen along the way & local pubs & cafes, recommended for their food, for each route. The countryside is infinitely varied & often spectacular.
