Parhaat kävely- ja vaellusreitit lähellä Compton Chamberlayne

Lyhyt onkalotie aivan Compton Chamberlaynen kylän ulkopuolella, joka on syntynyt ihmisen toiminnan ja luonnon eroosion yhdistelmästä, hitaasta muutoksesta, joka vie tyypillisesti satoja tai jopa tuhansia vuosia. Koska modernit maatalouskoneet ovat yleensä liian leveitä mahtuakseen näihin kapeisiin, syviin ojiin, monet historialliset onkalotiet hylättiin pääreitteinä 1700- ja 1800-luvuilla, jolloin ne säilyivät nykyään hiljaisina polkuina ja ratsastusreitteinä. Jos nautit tästä onkalotiestä, käy joskus Hells Lanella Symondsburyssa, Bridportista länteen. Se räjäyttää mielesi!!!!

Access kissing gate between the parkland and St Mary's Church.

Lovely views from the top of the finish line over the valley

The house you can see in the park is Philipps House. The house nestles in the steep wooded banks behind it and looks out over the expansive parkland. It’s separated from the park by a special deer fence called a ha-ha which allows uninterrupted views across the park and stops deer and cattle from into the garden. The house was designed by Jeffry Wyatville in a Georgian style with Greek-inspired columns supporting the large portico front. It was named Dinton House after the park for the Wyndham family. It was later renamed to Philipps House when it was sold to Bertram Philipps. In 2023 a 25-year lease of the house was conditionally sold for £2m. https://www.struttandparker.com/properties/st-marys-road-6

The church of St Michael and All Angels in Teffont Evias dates from 1100. There isn't much on record to show which parts (if any) are this old, but there is evidence from 1200.

This hill has been used for motor racing (timed hill climbs) since 1967. The bridleway crosses a short distance higher than the cars race so you can always walk here, it just depends on how noisy it is.

The Queen's Head in Broad Chalke is a nice country pub. They serve a nice meal, good beer and have a few rooms if you'd like to stay. Open from Wed to Sun from 11:00 to 23:00.
