Good forest paths up to Shillingstone hill. Beautifuleven without bluebells. Take St Edwards Way into Shillingstone for refreshments

Perfect views when the sun is out.

If you are travelling the Dorset trail way I highly recommend this cafe for a pit stop it’s only just opened and the coffee was amazing 😋 lovely friendly staff and dogs are welcome x

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

I imagine it to be a nice little cafe selling cakes, teas and coffees. unfortunately it only opens from 10am on a saturday

Was nice to see the Hod from a distance. On a hike route I'd done Hambledon and Hod on same day, in really bad conditions. worth a go up there

A very welcome stop to let your legs recover for a bit.
