A br&-new book in our Pub Walks series, this volume guides the walker to some of the best, most beautiful places in Dorset. The country pubs, upon which each walk is based, have all been chosen for their good food, range of ales, history & character. The 20 circular walks vary in length from 2 & a half
- 5 & three quarter miles. The walks include coastal paths at Kingston, Abbotsbury & Eype; woodland walks at Lytchett Minster, Corfe Mullen & Stoke Abbot; downland routes at Sixpenny Handley, Horton & Corfe Castle; & riverside walks at Tarrant Gunville, Moreton, Shillingstone & Hinton St Mary. In addition there are also walks in pretty valleys as at Winterbourne Stickland & Cattistock & through picturesque villages such as Loders & Piddletrenthide. Along the way there is the chance to see Sturt`s Folly, a six-storey brick tower; the grave of Lawrence of Arabia; a church pulpit canopy with two bullet holes in it; a Roman road; stained-glass windows by Lawrence Whistler; the pub where Thomas Hardy was a regular & several old railway trackbeds.
