ピドルツレンタイドでののおすすめランニングルート

Moderate difficulty walk a few stinging nettles on route

Pretty little village with very old buildings

Definitely use poles on climb if hiking 🥾

Lovely view of the house from the hill

Pretty little stream from the village to the Cerne giant car park 🅿️

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 👟

Lunch stop - there are two pubs or do what I did and get a freshly baked Cornish Pastie, banana and cup of tea and a fiver from the village shop.

Little used track up to Buck Hill but a good surface and not overgrown (in June 2024). At the top end can continue to the Old Sherbourne Road or go down through the woods to the farm at Well Bottom and join other tracks from there.

Good gravel track around fields. At the northern end it starts from the concrete bridleway up to Well Bottom Farm and at the southern end meets the gravel track to White Lackington or the road between Charlton Down and Piddlehinton.

fabulous landscaped gardens at all times of year, especially the autumn

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.

A beautiful and cool path along the River Cerne as it passes through Abbas Cerne. A pleasure to run while listening to the water flowing.

This Grade I listed building incorporates part of the Abbey's original South Gateway. It was almost entirely reconstructed in the mid-18th century after a fire.

Right by your side, you have the Cerne Abbas chalk hill figure. Given that it is 108 feet (55 meters) tall, you won't be able to see the entirety of its figure from this close, but if you cross to the other side of the River Cerne, you'll have splendid views of this standing nude male with a large club in its hand.

This church has a late medieval origin, but it also features elements from other periods, such as the 17th-century North chapel and the early 19th-century tower.

This is the River Piddle, which rises in Alton Pancras, a bit further north than Piddletrenthide. If you look closely, as it passes through this village, it goes underneath the houses on the main road.

In the southern part of Fetchum Wood, very close to the village of Plush, you can enjoy running along this path among the trees, sometimes forming even a canopy with their branches. After heavy rains, it can get very muddy, so keep that in mind.

Right next to the Wessex Ridgeway, near the Dorset Gap, you can see this square earthwork, approximately 25 meters in length on each side and 1 meter above the flat ground.

Minterne House was originally built in the 18th century, and the estate has been in the Digby family for several generations. The real highlight of Minterne is its exceptional gardens. Often referred to as one of England's finest and most romantic gardens, Minterne Gardens cover approximately 20 acres and feature a diverse range of landscapes, plantings, and water features.

The River Cerne gracefully winds its way through Cerne Abbas, meandering down the valley for about 10 miles before eventually converging with the River Frome at Dorchester. It has earned the endearing title of the "friendly river" due to the consistent bond it has shared with the villages lining its course across history. Along its tranquil journey, numerous significant landmarks have been thoughtfully erected in proximity to its banks.
