Discover Dorset's lovely countryside with this guide to some of the best walks in the county. There are 20 circular routes here varying in length from 23/4 to 61/4 miles. At the heart of each walk is a great local pub.
Explore the county's world-famous Jurassic coastline, including the chalk stack of Old Harry and the south coast's highest point at Golden Cap. Wander through rolling downland scenery with flower-rich meadows, visiting Iron Age hillforts with commanding defensive positions that offer great views. Take a walk along the former Saxon defences at Wareham or meander alongside peaceful rivers, follow paths through a patchwork of hedge-lined fields accompanied by birdsong, or explore picture-postcard villages and enjoy the tranquillity of their historic churches.
