Absolute stunner of a walk through Dorset chalk downland - far views, woods, hidden valleys & a beautiful village.

Distance 14.4 km
One of our favourite routes in any weather - simple to navigate, with wide reaching views. One long climb up to the Ox Drove, and then the rest is plain sailing, and the hidden valleys feel private and special.
Parking in Berwick St John village - do be considerate of residents.Easy option to cut it shorter by coming down off the Ox Drove halfway along - we do that when we have the teens along and they're not up for a longer walk!
