England: Dorset – 6 Nights Dorset - in the Footsteps of Thomas Hardy Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] England: Dorset – 6 nights Dorset - In the footsteps of Thomas Hardy https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/england-dorset/england-dorset-6-nights/ Route Summary At a glance 6 nights (5 days walking). Extra nights possible at all accommodation. Dog-friendly with alternative accommodations. How much walking? Full days: 18-24km per day, 5-7 hrs walking Using shortening options: 12-18km per day, 3-5 hrs (using lifts) Max. Grade: page 1/9 Dorset in style! Our route discovers the Wessex that Thomas Hardy knew and loved so well. Following an overnight stay in the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury, and a short train ride to quiet Tisbury, the walk winds west past the romantic ruins of Old Wardour Castle (English Heritage) and then on to the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury. The following day, after exploring the independent shops and eateries (not missing famous Gold Hill) a short transfer will take you to the village of Winterbourne Stickland. From here, you walk towards the south coast, exploring Dorset, one of England’s most beautiful counties, happening on quintessentially English villages and staying in some fascinating Hardy-esque inns. Walk through the ‘new village’ of Milton Abbas with its rows of beautiful thatched cottages; through remote Bingham’s Melcombe and then Melcombe Bingham (yes, really) to idyllic Plush. A visit to the always-ready Cerne Abbas giant and then a night at Hardy’s Sow and Acorn Inn in Evershot is followed by a ramble over rolling hills to the bustling town of Bridport. Your last day is spent exploring the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, and enjoying the views from high up on Golden Cap, all the way to journey’s end, the fishing village of Lyme Regis. Hunt for fossils on the beach and walk along the Cobb (à la The French Lieutenant’s Woman), before feasting on a well-earned celebratory supper. Dogs: this version is suitable for small or medium sized dogs subject to accommodation changes in Salisbury, Shaftesbury and Lyme Regis. Supplements apply (see “prices”). Route Highlights ● The cathedral city of Salisbury with its stunning cathedral, home to the tallest spire in the UK. Take the ‘Tower Tour’ to see it up close! ● Old Wardour Castle (filming location Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) ● Shaftesbury – a Saxon hilltop town, and Gold Hill (remember the boy and the bike, from the Hovis advert?!) ● The imposing Cerne Abbas Giant – supposedly Saxon era hillside chalk figure ● Mapperton House and Gardens, used in the 2015 Far from the Madding Crowd film ● Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, Golden Cap and Lyme Regis – unofficial UK capital of fossil hunting! ● Idyllic rolling and unspoilt countryside with constant Thomas Hardy references. Don’t be surprised to see Tess walking forlornly in the distance… ● Quintessential English villages and inns with a great variety of food from hearty English fare in Plush to the more sophisticated offerings in Evershot. We Recommend An extra night in Lyme Regis is strongly recommended as this intriguing seaside town has so much to offer - it is also home to some of the finest accommodation on the route. Also consider an extra day to relax and explore the local countryside at Thomas Hardy's "Sow and Acorn" in Evershot; a good mid-point to break up the walk and lots of local free-walking to do. page 2/9 Grading Full days: 18-24km per day, 5-7 hrs walking Using shortening options: 12-18km per day, 3-5 hrs (using lifts) Some smaller footpaths are used, mostly signed, though some not - careful attention to note details needed. Excellent maps. Basic compass skills essential. Medium: Average CUSs per day 445m (320-640m, using shortening options 350m (250m-430m). Note: Coastal option on Day 6 - 750m. GPX file available for handheld GPS or smartphone App for complete route. Important note: Times given for each day are walking times for an “average” walker and exclude stops. “CUSs” stands for “Cumulative Uphill Stretches” and measures the aggregated ascents in each day, expressed in metres of climb. See “Walk Grading” for more information. When to go The best months to walk: May, June, July, September, October Other possible months: March, April, August, November This walk is best in spring and autumn, but beware of shorter days at the beginning and end of the season, when it may also be rather wet and muddy! In August it may be hard for us to secure accommodation. Important: our accommodation in Evershot and Lyme Regis are unlikely to accept a one night stay on a Friday or Saturday.

The District Council is required by Section 71 of the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of conservation areas. This can be achieved through conservation area appraisals. West Dorset has 79 Conservation Areas and the Council has agreed on a programme of character appraisals. Whitchurch Canonicorum’s conservation area forms part of this appraisal work. The conservation area was designated in November 1993 and extended in October 2010. In order that designation is effective in conserving the special interest, planning decisions must be based on a thorough understanding of the conservation area’s character. An appraisal is therefore an essential tool for the planning process.

  • Golden Cap E-Magazine August 2020
    Golden Cap E-Magazine August 2020 Whitchurch Canonicorum church Wild Orchids in Wootton Fitzpaine through buttercups by Barry Welch by Susan Bradbury Update from Chris Martin, Team Rector of the Golden Cap Benefice Dear friends, I think most of us have realised by now that coming out of ‘lockdown’ is a lot trickier than going into it! This month, in addition to opening for private prayer, some of our churches are beginning to plan for opening for Sunday worship for the first time since March. Like local shopkeepers and pub landlords, Churchwardens, Parochial Church Council members and clergy are discovering that there is a LOT to think about in helping people to feel safe and cared for as they come to Sunday worship, or to a wedding or funeral. It’s important that it’s done well and going slowly seems necessary and prudent in these circumstances. I’m noticing too that there are lots of mixed emotions around.
