Yes it’s a bench (for a very welcome sit down), and yes there’s a very distant view of the spire but I can’t recommend you (as I did) set this bench as a walk’s destination!

The bridleway climbs from around 100 m above sea level in Fonthill Bishop up to just over 150 m where it joins the road at Ridge. Underfoot it's a gravelly, stony track which gets muddy sometimes, it's easy to run on and fun either in ascent or descent. Great views as it follows the edge of the hill and woodland.

Fonthill Lake is part of the Fonthill Estate, which dates back to 1533. The lake is natural but has been landscaped over the years and used to power mills as well as for pleasure. Today it's a great place to run, with a footpath along the western shore.

Very useful water refill point with good signage.

nice start and stop at Bird&Carter

Old Shaftesbury Drove is an old road that runs through the beautiful woodlnd of Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire AONB linking Salisbury with Shaftesbury.

Just past the gate there's a place to fill up your water bottles (it's all signposted)

Bring lots of fluids expect to be there for a day
