Dorset Walks-Milton Abbas to Bulbarrow



This walk starts at Milton Abbas, a picture postcard village created in 1780 on the whim of the Lord of the Manor who deciding that the town of Middleton rather got on the way of his view, promptly demolished it, moving the population over the hill to the brand, spanking new village of Milton Abbas.

The route takes you past Milton Abbey and school and then passes one of the most idyllically situated school playing fields in England.

A long climb brings you to the brow of Bulbarrow Hill where you are rewarded with far-reaching views inland over the Blackmore Vale.

8.5 miles 4hrs approx.
