- In this episode of my series “ Walks in Dorset”, I take a walk in and around the pretty village of Sydling St Nicholas - located about 9 miles North West of Dorchester. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I park my car in Church Lane and start my 5.5 mile circular walk at the church of St Nicholas (sadly closed due to some restoration work at the time of filming). After passing the old Court House I head along the main street through the village - which is full of delightful houses & cottages. One house has a very old petrol pump outside (used in the 1920's I believe but no longer in use).
After checking out the Greyhound Inn, I head back along East Street, over a stream (Sydling Water), and out into the countryside.
I initially follow part of the Wessex Ridgeway Trail up the side of a ridge towards Cowdon Hill - where there are stunning scenes across the valley & down into the village below - and then on to Higher City Farm.
My route then takes me South along a ridge towards Crete Hill and after passing the memorial cairn to Harriet Tory, I turn Westwards and drop down to Pond Bottom.
My homeward journey takes me past the location of a bronze age settlement on the Northern slopes of Shearplace Hill and down past Huish Farm and back into the village.
