オケフォード・フィッツペインでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

What an absolute cracking pit stop. Extremely good prices on all the food. Only stopped for few coffees and toasted teacakes. Friendly staff and very clean.

Fiddleford Mill is an 18th-century structure near the River Stour, mentioned in the Domesday Book. Although the mill building is disused and not open to the public, it is adjacent to the much older Fiddleford Manor, a magnificent 14th-century English Heritage property known for its spectacular timber roofs.

It is the Church of England Parish Church and is a notable building, designated as a Grade I Listed structure. History: The present church dates from a rebuild in 1486 by the Abbots of Glastonbury and retains a significant carved wagon roof. A popular walking route goes along Penny Lane and Church Lane to reach the churchyard, which is why it's closely associated with Penny Street.

Colber Bridge is an elegant Grade II Listed footbridge crossing the River Stour upstream of Sturminster Newton Mill. Built of cast iron and coursed rubble in 1841 by J. Conway, it stands near the ruins of the old railway bridge. It is particularly known as a popular and picturesque spot for wild swimming and is a featured landmark on many local walking trails, offering beautiful views of the Dorset countryside.

Sturminster Newton 'Castle' is the ruinous remains of a 14th-century medieval manor house constructed within the earthworks of an Iron Age hillfort. Originally belonging to Glastonbury Abbey, it was later granted to Katherine Parr by Henry VIII. The remains, which are on private land, are a Grade II* listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Not always great! The field had been recently ploughed so picking out the bridleway was difficult and it was strewn with large rocks and I often had to walk to cross deep furrows.

fantastic stop. if you have time and it's open go inside this working mill.

Still milling flour today, this beautiful mill is well worth taking five minutes to listen to the water. You might even be lucky enough to spot the local otter!

Now run as a museum and a working flour mill. The current building dates back to 1650 but there has been a mill here since at least 1016. Open seasonally so call 01258 471 878 to check. March to Sep open Mon, Thurs, Sat and Sun from 11:00 - 17:00.

Fiddleford Mill House survives well as a good example of its class and listed as Grade I. Pevsner described it as ‘the most spectacular medieval manor house interior in Dorset’ free to visit

Wear sensible footwear .

Watch out, the bigger rocks Chuck you off if not careful!

It's hard to a imagine a more serene location than Fiddleford, with its 14th-century manor and pretty mill. While the present mill dates back to the 13th century, impressive in itself, there has been a mill here since at lease the date of the Domesday Book in 1087. The weir bridge is just as wonderful with its rusty wheels and vibrant, rural setting. Summer is the most majestic time to visit but all seasons bring their magic here.

Along this ridge section, which takes you from Okeford Hill and over Bell Hill, you are afforded stunning views over Blackmore Vale and Stour Valley. There is evidence of a prehistoric settlement on the summit and a tumulus can be observed here.

A leg-burning and lung-bustlingly steep climb but totally worth it for the view. There's a beacon up here worth looking out for as it was used during the Spanish Armada. It's on the righthand side of the road if you're coming from Blandford.
