Still doesn't change the fact that this is a very nice walk to do.

It had several interesting moments, including having to navigate a flooded path.

This walk definitely provides some nice views, especially on a lovely clear sky day like this one.

We once again came to Maiden Newton by train in order to walk home from here.

Doing this walk in reverse gave some new views and perspectives that we usually don't see.

We eventually joined the familiar path a followed it all the way to Charlton Down & back via Charminster.

We had lunch here and looked at the church before carrying on.

This one actually took us along the Frome Valley Trail, through some of the spectacular countryside that can be found here.

After having a break, we headed for home with Poundbury off in the distance.

Since it's next to a railway line, I did try waiting for a train, but I missed it by around 5 minutes.

This area does have some nice views, especially on this very lovely day, but it's not the kind of weather you want to do a big walk in, which is why we kept it short today.

Some highlights from a little walk we did this morning around the fields north of Dorchester on this very hot and dry Late April day.

We eventually found our way to the bridge at the bottom of Kingston Maurward, before making our way home from there.

Went on a slightly different walk today that took us beyond Kingston Maurward and towards the nearby Thorncombe Woods.

Some sights along the River Frome, following a path that we go along all the time, but I've never documented from until now. Taken as part of a walk heading towards Charminster.
