I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

Nice steady climb to get onto Batcombe ridge

bit muddy when a shoot is on

Lovely view of the house from the hill

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 👟

Good gravel track to and from Upper Sydling

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.

Tough climb out of Cerne Abbas with steep section in the middle. Take care if descending. The reward is a lovely descent into Piddletrenthide with stunning views.
