Every respectable hike ends at a pub (at least that's how I plan them), and this wonderful
Dorset circular walk starting in
Worth Matravers is no exception. Resisting the urge to pop into the "The Square and Compass", a mere minute stroll from the village car park
(£2 parking donation) as you stroll by is hard, but the reward post-hike is much better tasting.
This loop walk is approximately 5 miles, but closer to 6 if you take the odd side detour, and I would allow around 3 hours. Expect to see spectacular coastal scenery, numerous historic sites, plenty of wildlife, and if hiking during a weekday, very few people.
