WALKS IN WILTSHIRE at TOLLARD ROYAL & WIN GREEN (CLOSE TO THE WILTSHIRE / DORSET BORDER).

In this episode of my series “ Walks in Wiltshire”, I take a walk in & around the village of Tollard Royal which is located very close to the Wiltshire / Dorset border . Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan. I park my car at a free car park area by the pond at the bottom of the village and start my 5 mile circular walk with an exploration of Tollard Royal. After visiting the Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, I head up through the main street, past the old Methodist Chapel & the King John Inn. My route takes me out into the countryside along The Hardy Way, uphill along a ridge to Win Green – the highest point in the Cranborne Chase. There is an alternative route along the valley bottom, on the Wessex Ridgeway, which may be more suitable as it avoids walking across fields of crops. Win Gren – with it's clump of beech trees – is owned by the National Trust. I then join the Cranborne Droves Way for my homeward leg back to the village. My final destination is the King John Inn at Tollard Royal. NB: The name of the church at Tollard Royal is the Church of VINCULA (not Vinicula as stated in the video!) Map courtesy of Google Maps.
