ウィンターボーンクレンストンでののおすすめツーリングルート

Really lovely main street. This can comfort you while you climb - if you are going left at the top you will face more climbing. Milton Abbas is one of the earliest examples of a community being moved for aesthetic reasons: it was created in the 1770s when Joseph Damer, the then owner of Milton Abbey, relocated the village of Middleton to a new site (now known as Milton Abbas) to improve the view from his estate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Abbas

notable for being one of the first planned settlements in England. In the 1770s, the owner of Milton Abbey, Joseph Damer (later Lord Milton and Earl of Dorchester), decided the original village of Middleton was spoiling his view and commissioned architect Sir William Chambers and landscape gardener Capability Brown to design a new village in a nearby wooded valley. The old village was demolished, and most of its residents were relocated to this new model village, now known as Milton Abbas. The village is characterized by its single, sinuous main street lined with 36 almost identical whitewashed and thatched cottages. These were originally designed to house two families each.

If you are hiking in this area definitely pop in for a coffee and food it’s amazing 😋

A very nice route indeed. Nothing too demanding at all. Give it a whirl!!!

Milton Abbas - beautiful and worth the detour. Great stop at Steeptonbill Farm Shop and cafe, just past the village.

Welcome coffee and cake stop😋. Next to the sports field

Black Cactus is a very friendly cafe with delicious food. you can charge up, recharge and refresh. Nice space to park your bikes right infront too. dogs also welcome.

The Kingston Lacy Kitchen Garden is being restored by the National Trust which has been in decline since the 1960s. The kitchen garden was originally designed and built in 1876 to grow fruit, veggies and flowers for the Kingston Lacy estate. The kitchen garden now supplies produce for the cafe at Kingston Lacy, so you can come and sample the home-grown produce.

Cracking little spot on the edge of the river Stour to stop for lunch, or even just a quick break from a day's riding!

Beautiful grounds. See how the other half or rather 6% live :-)

There's a car park and viewpoint at the top. Coming from the east is a long gradual climb. Coming from the west it is a short, sharp climb hitting 15% in places. But…going down (especially eastwards) makes it worth it.

Difficult climb on a bikepacking rig but good scenery.

Wimborne Minster is an atmospheric market town with a 1300 year old church of cathedral-like proportions. the stained glass windows, the organ with trumpets above and the astronomical clock alone are worth a visit.

Lovely stretch of road along the top of Delcombe Woods

Blackmore Vale - one of the greatest views of the English countryside. Thomas Hardy's 'Vale of the Little Dairy's'

Milton Abbas was created in the 1770/80's after Lord Milton decided that the village of Middleton was disturbing his rural peace at nearby Milton Abbey. He therefore asked Capability Brown, a famous landscape gardener, to create a new village in a nearby wooded valley. He then relocated most of the villagers of Middleton.

Great stop here for coffee as some good coffee shops in Wimbourne
