락솔 최고의 라이딩 경로

마을 위로는 영국에서 가장 "풍만한" 랜드마크가 우뚝 솟아 있습니다. 180피트 높이의 백악 거인이 바지를 잊어버린 것은 분명합니다. 거대한 곤봉과 훨씬 더 거대한... 자존심으로 언덕에 새겨진 그는 수세기 동안 등산객들을 부끄럽게 만들었습니다. 전설에 따르면 그의 "남성성"에서 자면 생식력이 높아진다고 하지만, 대부분의 사람들은 숨 막히는 셀카로 만족합니다. 그는 고대적이고, 뻔뻔하며, 당신을 진심으로 반기는 유일한 언덕임이 틀림없습니다.

The view of giant is best from the opposite hill. When I took my photo the chalk was very dull so viewing wasn’t brilliant but I know they restore him every now and again so he should be bright again.The climb up past the giant is very steep so if hiking poles would be a great addition and grippy footwear 👟

You could of choose to continue up along the grove, alongside the Roman Defensive Ditch and Bank system but you'd be with the traffic so taking a right here and going through the Industrial Estate avoids all the traffic and brings you up onto the road that takes you to Poundbury

The church dates from Norman times and the chancel arch is of Early Norman architecture. Outside is a very rare thirteenth century Dole Table, from pre-Reformation times when charitable doles of bread were distributed to the poor. Inside the south entrance is a fifteenth century carving of a king and crowned woman giving bread to children. The north and south aisle date from the fourteenth century, and there are two hagioscopes (squints) on the southern side of the chancel arch, which would have given a view of the high alter. Above the squints there is a fifteenth century doorway, which when reached by a wooden stair, would have led to the roof loft. The south doorway within the porch is also fifteenth century and features elaborate carving.

Tough climb but good road surface and the last section has fantastic views of the hill fort

Walk under the bridge from the main road and it is a completely different view

Most of this church was rebuilt in the late 19th century, like many others in the area. Sir George Gilbert Scott and his son were responsible for this project, with the latter creating the perpendicular-style tower, which is the most striking feature of the building.
