Ashmore

Misty in the bluebells

The village of Ashmore in the North east of the county, very close to the Wiltshire / Dorset border . Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.

I park my car at the recreation ground by the village hall and start my 3 mile circular walk with a wander through the village. The starting point is the beautiful pond in the centre of the village – famous for being the central location of the annual “Filly Foo” Festival. After visiting the Church of St Nicholas, I head North past Stags Head Cottage & Mullins Cottage (both of which have an interesting history) before heading back Eastwards past the old Forge & Methodist chapel.

I then head out into the countryside and follow a path along the Dorset / Wiltshire border before heading South West past Mudoak Wood & Well Bottom to follow a track through some woods (Elderen Row).

At a signpost, I start my homeward leg, heading North back to the village, along a section of the Wessex Ridgeway.

My walk ends back at the pond where there is a handy bench to sit and relax on!

CAUTION: There is a stile on the route that is not dog friendly (see video) - you have to carry your dog over it.
