ウィンボーンミンスターでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lots of fun to cross. Either wheelie your bike across or sit on it and scoot over. Watch your tyres don't fall into the gaps!

Okay to get around on. Bumpy on parts.

Pedestrian underpass for safely crossing the busy A31 road at Canford Bottom roundabout.

Lady Wimborne Bridge is a notable historical structure built in 1853 as part of the railway expansion into the area. This Grade II-listed bridge showcases an ornate design that reflects the influence of landowners during the mid-19th century. Although it hasn't hosted trains since 1979 it remains an important landmark, now serving as a walking path that connects to the scenic surroundings​

Whilst on travels, in a tiny patch between houses, I came across a tiny fairy garden. nobody has made this.... it is real. To take a scene from the wonderful movie Hook... Peter Banning : I do not believe in fairies. Tinkerbell : Every time someone says 'I do not believe in fairies', somewhere there's a fairy that falls down dead. Peter Banning : I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES! [Tinkerbell falls down the stairs of the dollhouse unconscious] Peter Banning : Oh my God, I think I've killed it.

This magnificent area is home to beautiful species of plants and wildlife, endless ranges of ancient woodland, heathland and coastline. Perfect for lazing around and taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Wimborne Minster is the parish church of Wimborne, Dorset, England. The minster has existed for over 1300 years and is recognised for its unusual chained library (one of only a few surviving chained libraries in the world). The minster is a former monastery and Benedictine nunnery, and King Æthelred of Wessex is buried there. The Chained library is located upstairs, up a very windy stone staircase. No lifts to it. Until it was confiscated during Henry VIII's reign, the old Treasury held the wealth of the minster and numerous artefacts such as (reputed to be) a piece of the true cross, wood from the Manger and cloth from the Shroud. Since 1686 it has housed an important chained library. The chained library was one of the first public libraries in the UK, and it remains the second-largest. Some of the collections of the library include a manuscript written on lambskin in 1343, a book bound for the Court of Henry VIII, an incunabulum printed in 1495 on the works of Saint Anselm, and a Paraphrase of Erasmus printed in 1522 with a title page designed by Holbein. The library is run by volunteers and remains open to the public on week days 10.30-12.30 & 2-4 (closed in winter season). The Bells Since 1911 the west tower at the minster has been home to a ring of ten bells. The original tenor bell was housed in the central tower and was cast in 1385. The central tower was considered too structurally weak to add much more additional weight, so in 1464 the west tower was constructed in order to house five bells. In 1629 the tenor bell was recast. Besides the tenor, the minster at this time was home to the 'Bell of St. Cuthburga', 'The Fyfer Bell', 'The Jesus Bell' and 'The Morrow Mass Bell'; presumably all housed in the west tower. In 2012, the bells were augmented to 12 by Whitechapel Bell Foundry, with an additional semitone bell cast to make a total of 13 bells. Tombs The most important tomb in the church is that of King Ethelred, the brother of Alfred the Great. Ethelred was mortally wounded in a battle at Martin, near Cranborne. The exact location of the tomb however is unknown, though sources and legend indicate that it resides somewhere near the altar.

Eye Bridge in Wimborne is on the River Stour. It has plenty of parking right next to the river, however, it can quickly fill up on a summers weekend. Eyebridge is a lovely spot to Paddleboard, you can head up stream for a good 5+ miles and there’s also a pub stop off at the end (Coventry Arms) if you fancy it.

Easiest and safest way to get across the river stour. The main road is narrow over the bridge, and heavily congested at times.

An easy little walking route. Ground gets a little boggy in places after rainy days. first time here and it was fairly quiet. you're in the woods so not much in the way of svenic views. but a great place to just get the steps in.

Walk your bike down the steps. I made it halfway down and fell off bike, :)

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.
