If you are not a current member of the NT you can adapt this walk by starting at any of the other nearby car parks and slightly changing the route. All the paths are well marked and easy to follow.
We started from the NT car park at Kingston Lacy and walked down through the woods to Lodge Farm. From here we had a pleasant stroll through the open countryside and High Wood to join the Hardy Way by Highwood Cottage. From this point the track is very made up, not really like country walking, all the way round to Daffodil Copse so it is very easy going. The only snag we found was the lack of anywhere to sit for a break!
St Stephen's Church at Pamphill is worth a detour. It was built by the Bankes family and finished in 1907 but was preceded by a much earlier church from 1229.
We seem to have lost our bearings a bit on the way back through the park but made it back to the cat without too many difficulties. Perhaps we should have stuck to The Hardy Way.
Lunch was, as usual, excellent value at the Coach and Horses in Wimborne but do they really need to get a Christmas Tree up before we have even reached September? That picture really was taken today 30 August!
