フランプトンのおすすめツーリングルート

Quite casually, you'll find yourself standing in the middle of a millennia-old place, which Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans have repeatedly reshaped to suit their culture and needs. Those familiar with Old Sarum will recognize or compare many things (Salisbury). Two information panels allow you to immerse yourself in this tranquil place.

What a wonderful place: time seems to have stood still here. While some of the furniture has been reconstructed, it's fortunate that Hardy's house has been so completely preserved: a fascinating journey into the Victorian England of one of the world's leading authors... the room where he wrote many of his poems and novels, an enchanting garden, and even the somewhat quirky "Pet Sematary," where several dogs and cats were buried. So much of the atmosphere is still preserved here: a must-see, ideally with a guided tour: it's worth it.

Lovely bit of gravel. Great views

Largest Green Space in Poundbury newly created wildflower meadows and other habitats plus the Pavillion Cafe

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.

Good smooth gravel track. Nice cut through to the cycle track towards Weymouth.

Nice descent into Cerne Abbas from Sydling. Going up there is one one short steep section in the middle

Climb up to Cowdown Hill from Sydling. Steep section in middle but views from top worth the effort.
