there's a few ways to climb here, all rewarding

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.

Family friendly walk

wet and muddy day out with Ashley would've been a good gravel ride in the dry missed out Grovely Wood Wheatsheaf Pub was a good start finish venue

A great place to explore Ackling dyke (A Roman road) is from Gussage all saints there is a pub u can park at to the east called the Cockerel 🍻

Lovely woods and stunning in autumn 🍂

Prefer this to the road climb next to it as that gets a lot steeper once off road. This is just a long grind with a few pinchy bits. Can imagine it would be great fun going down, but it is singletrack so careful on the corners.

I really enjoyed cycling the Wiltshire Droves, although in May is was very very wet and muddy and needed to walk in places. highly recommend it
