Milton Park Wood

Highlight • Trail

This vibrant woodland is part of a cluster of woods which, together, form a veritable wonderland of forest hiking opportunities. The Jubilee runs along the north western edge of Milton Park Wood and is an earthen path, taking you through what feels like a secret tunnel in the trees.

There's an example of a park pale here too, the boundary of a medieval deer park; a sort of giant ditch designed to stop deer from leaving the area.

Milton Abbas Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Made up largely of thatched cob houses, Milton Abbas is not only one of the most picturesque villages in Dorset but it is also the first planned village. Built in the 18th century, Lord Milton disliked looking at the village of Middleton and wanted a more rural vista. As a result, he ordered it demolished and moved the village a short way to the south east.

The village is particularly interesting as it features 36 near-identical houses. It's very pretty and has a pub, perfect for a lunch stop.

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.
