One of the most peaceful sunrise spots I've found of late. I shall be back on a clearer morning.

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

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 views from the top of the finish line over the valley

Love this place the views there are amazing cranborne to one side and Pentridge to the otherside

Lovely woods and stunning in autumn 🍂

Bokerley Dyke is a linear earthwork over 3.5 miles long. It was probably Bronze Age or early Iron Age in origin and may have marked a boundary. The later Roman Road cut straight through it. The running here is great, wild and fun on lots of ace trails.

Pentridge Hill has a trig point which is a little off the track in the woods at Penbury Knoll. It's at 185 m, so the view from the ridge is stunning, classic Dorset countryside, especially to the south. The trails here aren't that technical but they are quiet and fun.

This hill has been used for motor racing (timed hill climbs) since 1967. The bridleway crosses a short distance higher than the cars race so you can always walk here, it just depends on how noisy it is.

The Queen's Head in Broad Chalke is a nice country pub. They serve a nice meal, good beer and have a few rooms if you'd like to stay. Open from Wed to Sun from 11:00 to 23:00.

Panoramic view of Martin Down and Cranborne Chase AONB

Suitable for gravel or mountain biking. The village name derives from the Celtic pen ("hill") and twrch ("boar"), and thus means "hill of the wild boar"; its existence was first recorded (as "Pentric") in the eighth century, eighty years before the birth of Alfred the Great.

Great cafe, inside the shop (converted church) - don't miss!

3.5 mile long (prehistoric) boundary ditch

This ancient earthwork lies on the Hampshire/Dorset Border, on the western edge of Martin Down. Estimates put the ditch's creation in the Bronze or Early Iron Age after which it was cut by the Romans to create one of their typically straight roads. Today, the ditch still forms part of the county border and offers plenty of wonderful hiking trails with vibrant wildlife.
