Welcoming and refreshments good.

Well surfaced gravel bridleway but can be wet due to the stream running alongside. At the eastern end joins another rideable bridleway through fields.

Offroad track to cut through to Poundbury Road. Two bridges over river cerne

The remains of the old Market Cross from the 15th century, standing at the junction of Dorchester Road and Church Road. It consists of a square base and the lower part of a rough-hewn square stem, the whole thing standing about 5 feet high. It has beaded angles and on the west face are the much-weathered figures standing on a corbelled projection.

As djcwey2402 says this is a much easier going now and even a few less gates. Used in winter after a bit of rain and it was fine - it would have involved a bit of walking in the old state.

This section of National Cycle Route 26 (and as such very well signposted) is very quiet - I passed one car and an off-road motorcycle. It is now predominantly dressed with chippings other than a few small sections passing through farmyards that are concrete.
