Walk Description:

Leaving the Kingston Mauward estate we walk though fields to a small lane which we cross to another field and on to Thorncombe. Here we take the path past Thomas Hardy's cottage and on into the woods. Making our way to a stile on the other side and back into farm land.

We have a choice here to take the small lane to the Rusty duck cafe with excellent coffee and cake just a few yards further down the lane, my choice ,  or cross over and head back to Kingston Mauward Animal park where there is a cafe. 

 

Meet at Kingston Mauward Animal park. The parking here is free .

This is a lovely walk  through countryside and woodland , crossing a couple of small lanes. what three words cost.ruby.snowballs
