Bokerley Dyke is a substantial linear earthwork, approximately 5.75 kilometers (3.6 miles) long, located on Cranborne Chase. It runs along part of the border between Dorset and Hampshire, specifically between Woodyates and Martin. It is part of a larger Scheduled Monument that also includes Grim's Ditch and other earthworks. The dyke has a multi-period history. It is believed to have originated in the Bronze Age or Early Iron Age as an important political and cultural boundary. In the 1st century, it was cut through by a Roman road, Ackling Dyke, which ran between Old Sarum and Badbury Rings. In the 4th century, the dyke was remodeled and brought back into use. During this period, the Roman road was blocked. A coin of Valens found during excavations dates this activity to shortly after 364 AD, with some sources suggesting it was built between 367-368 AD. This remodeling may have been a defensive measure against attacks on Britain by Picts, Scots, and Saxons. The Roman road was eventually reopened, but the dyke may have continued to be used as a boundary after the Roman administration ended. Today, it still forms part of the border between the counties of Dorset and Hampshire.

Sorry I really don't like the Rodger Penny Way, as a local I try not to ride it anymore.. I'd go through Woodgreen, Lover, Passed Hampworth Golf Course, No Mans Land... much quieter roads... On the way back most of my routes go into Ringwood... and through the forest from there (I live near Lyndhurst)

"St Thomas’s belongs to the Church of England and is also part of the Inclusive Church initiative, which means that we are committed to ensure that all are truly welcome, whatever their story. ... Our beautiful building is the latest one on this site which has been used for worship for nearly eight hundred years. Most of the building seen today dates from the 15th century, and the church houses many treasures from across the centuries. St Thomas's has always been the church of the City, and the painted badges of the Guilds are still visible in the medieval wall paintings of the Lady Chapel."

A peaceful place off the New Forest tourist trail. Eyeworth Pond was created in the late 19th century to provide water power to a nearby gunpowder mill.

Above all, the church is big, really big! And it looks impressive too, definitely worth a visit.

This beautiful church in the heart of Salisbury is often bypassed in favour of the magnificent cathedral. However, this is a magnificent building with impressive architecture that's well worth a visit.

More like a lake than a pond. A nice spot for a picnic. Also has a small number of parking places if you want to hike from here.

Since it's creation by William the Conqueror in 1079 the New Forest has been a protected area. It became a National Park in 2005. Watch out for the wild ponies and pigs which can be on the roads.

"[...] one of the largest remaining tracts of unenclosed pasture land, heathland and forest in Southern England, covering southwest Hampshire and southeast Wiltshire. It was proclaimed a royal forest by William the Conqueror, featuring in the Domesday Book. Pre-existing rights of common pasture are still recognised today, being enforced by official verderers and agisters. In the 18th century, the New Forest became a source of timber for the Royal Navy. It remains a habitat for many rare birds and mammals. It is a 28,924.5-hectare (71,474-acre) biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest. Several areas are Geological Conservation Review and Nature Conservation Review sites. It is a Special Area of Conservation, a Ramsar site and a Special Protection Area. Copythorne Common is managed by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, Kingston Great Common is a national nature reserve and New Forest Northern Commons is managed by the National Trust."

Old Sarum is thought to have been one of the earliest settlements in Salisbury and it appears in some of the UK's oldest records. Built close to Stonehenge and the Avebury monoliths, Old Sarum probably dates back to around 3000 BC. The settlement lived through varied history including Roman conquest, and Saxon and Norman rule. In 1514, Henry VIII sold the castle grounds and the settlement gradually fell into decline. The site is now managed by English Heritage and Grade I listed. You can visit from 10am - 4pm Friday to Sunday. Entrance is £5.40 per adult. More information: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/old-sarum/
