ミンターン・マグナでののおすすめライド

Lovely pub. Great Sunday carvery.

The view of giant is best from the opposite hill. When I took my photo the chalk was very dull so viewing wasn’t brilliant but I know they restore him every now and again so he should be bright again.The climb up past the giant is very steep so if hiking poles would be a great addition and grippy footwear 👟

You could of choose to continue up along the grove, alongside the Roman Defensive Ditch and Bank system but you'd be with the traffic so taking a right here and going through the Industrial Estate avoids all the traffic and brings you up onto the road that takes you to Poundbury

Cosy Pub, food only so-so. You could if you wished veer off to the left after the pub and take instead the shared cycle/pedestrican route and continue all the way to Hangmans Cottage

manor house with 17th century origins, extensively rebuilt after a fire in 1863 and remodelled in 1911. Inspiration for Weatherbury Farm in Thomas Hardy's novel, Far from the Madding Crowd. Grade I listed

Good place to stop and rest

This provides a perfect viewpoint from which to observe the large hill figure of the Cerne Giant. It's at just the right distance, not too far, to see the figure in its entirety.
