King Down from Badbury Rings, Dorset.

King Down from Badbury Rings on the Kingston Lacy Estate today. B3082 from Wimborne Minster. Park in the main car park and then head north from the car park passing through two gates, then left and right to reach a small wooded area. Turn left walk to the next right turn in the tracks which passes a farm. Keep going on this long wide track until you reach a small footpath leading across a wheat field on a right turn. You will see two tumuli in the field, the second of which you can climb and makes a wonderful picnic spot to view the beautiful scenery. Now turn right onto the wide track and right again at the corner. This track passes a lovely bluebell wood on your left (there are little paths in the wood and it's very pretty at the moment). At the next junction you can chose to go left to the Eastern side of Badbury Rings(this is a wonderful route as you can walk across the whole hillfort and enjoy the views, bluebells and hillfort paths), or continue to the corner of the wood and return on the path that you started on. Allow at least 2 hours for this walk as you will want to walk around the hillfort itself and it's wonderful there. Easy walking.
