St. Peter & St. Paul Church, Mappowder

Highlight • Historical Site

A picture-perfect rural village, it’s worth stretching your legs in Mappowder and strolling around the interesting 15th century church. Also, those lanes that surround the village are tip-top for riding. (Dirty and dangerous in the depths of winter, but usually very quiet all year-round).

View from Bulbarrow Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

The county's second highest hill, this is a bit of a slog to get up but all worth it for the views.

On a clear day you can see as far as the Severn Bridge to the west crossing into Wales. At the top there's a scenic, undulating lane that's a bit like a balcony over Dorset.
