This is another video in my series “Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I am at the pretty village of Dewlish which is located in the centre of the county. My 4 mile “figure of eight” route starts & finishes in the village.
The “bottom loop” of the walk starts at the lovely Church of All Saints and takes me South across a field that has earthworks relating to a long abandoned Medieval village towards the magnificent Dewlish House. After passing through the Dewlish House estate, the route goes uphill along the side of Park Hill on an atmospheric woodland path.
After passing back through the village, I start out on the “top loop” of the walk by heading North towards the old Mill and then on to some stunning chalk downland. The steady climb up to the top of the ridge is worth the effort with some amazing 360 degree views over the beautiful Dorset countryside. After a brief stop to take in the scenery, there is one final downhill leg back to the village.
This was our first “video walk” of 2021 on an early Spring morning with glorious sunshine & a freshness to the temperature.
A detailed map of the route is show at the end of the video.
