A walk to Alderholt.

A walk to Alderholt this morning. This is a lovely route take up behind Stephen's castle, through the barrier and along the main track until you reach a junction of bridleways marked by blue arrows.

Turn left and continue on this until it crosses a main track. The blue marked bridleway is on the opposite side of this track.

Here it is just a very small path leading through the woods(sometimes it can be muddy here). The path come to a small gate.

Go through the gate and down the hill onto the common. Cross the common on this path. At the bottom of the common is another gate go through this a stay on the wide track to reach Alderholt. If you want refreshments,

The Churchill Inn is to your left when you reach the road. A good place for lunch or a drink with a garden at the back.

You can also cycle or ride a horse on this route. Takes about 1 hour from Verwood centre.
