メルベリー・オスモンドでののおすすめツーリングルート

The highest pub in Dorset @184m

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.

Original artisan bakery, since 1911. The wheat for our flour is predominantly U.K. Grown, some sourced from as little as 20 miles of the bakery. Also a good place to a cup of tea 🍵 andcoffee ☕. https://www.oxfordsbakery.co.uk/#about

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

Stopped here couple of times. Friendly and good service with good food. Made to feel very welcome even when very wet. Good local/community feel. Seemed to be a knitting master class on one visit - knit and natter perhaps. Say hello to the horse who will be pleased to see you - probably expecting food...

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.

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.
