チャルドン・ヘリングのおすすめライド

At peak or busy times these roads are rammed but worth a visit if you can time it right.

The whole town is very picturesque with several options for refreshments.

Quadrangular castle built in 1370. Not open for visitors but you can stay there. https://www.visit-dorset.com/listing/woodsford/112486301/ & https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/search-and-book/properties/woodsford-castle-13233/#Overview

Cute little bridge. Gravel path leads through the Frome wetlands back to Dorchester.

The old road is still here and easily rideable on any bike. But as with most cycle infrastructure, is badly signposted and the junction off the A35 is sketchy, forcing you to brake sharply and avoid the bushes when leaving the A35, or come to a halt and wait for a gap in the cars if you're joining the A35.

Nice to look at although you cannot go into the grounds. I think you can rent it through the Landmark Trust. Woodsford Castle is a rare survivor of one side of a medieval fortified manor house. Standing near the River Frome the thatched roof is reputed to be the largest in Dorset. There is a convenient to pull in to have look.

Lovely little bridge at the end of route from Dorchester to Lower Bockhampton alongside the Water Meadows and alongside river. Gravel path joining Lower Bockhampton & Dorchester at bridge.

you can't get much more Dorset than this pretty thatched village
