バーレストンのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

Divert off main trail to Morton Estate for coffee break

New cafe pretty well located for cycle fuel stop, in Duck Farm housing the duck Farm Collective: https://www.facebook.com/DuckFarmCollective/ Super - very welcoming and good value, especially if you like ducks! Bike rack outside and while not super secure you and others can see it. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Rusty-Duck-Coffee-Shop-Dorchester/100088144181251/

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.

We were there on a sunny Sunday afternoon during the holidays and yes... it was packed 🙈. Nevertheless, the place is well worth seeing and it is quite easy to get around. The daily parking fee for a car is 20 pounds 😳!

Good stop for refreshments. We were made very welcome and served good coffees. Web link for the Martyrs: https://martyrsinn.com/ Good info on the Tolpuddle Martyrs on the website. Free house and,I think, it is community owned.

The Martyrs is a Freehouse and has been saved from closure by the community. I was made welcome and enjoyed a homemade soup. The menu was not wide and not Gastro but in our experience rather good. Info on pub and the martyrs: http://martyrsinn.com/

This section is the old road into Dorchester which has now been by-passed and is very quiet. Going over the dual cariageway bypass, shortly after coming down the hill, it is a is a good light traffic route into Dorchester from Puddletown. - it is Yellowham Hill (good road surface witha stiffish climb). There is another with another short climb up to higher Bockhampton after you cross the bridge.
