Walks into History Dorset

The lively and informative walks in this guide take you past sites of vast hill forts, medieval castles, smugglers' coves, and bloody battles whose outcome altered the course of England's history. The circular walks explore some of the most beautiful countryside in England. They vary in length between 3 - 71/2 miles and can be undertaken by everyone including the young, the not-so-young and the not-so-fit. The subjects of the walks include Cerne Abbas, and its giant hill figure; Maiden Castle where a last stand was made against the might of Rome's XXth legion; the port and Georgian resort of Lyme Regis; and Tolpuddle, the village where some of the earliest rights of working men were fought for.
