Ox Drove Gravel Road

Highlight • Trail

Need a dryer day if you're on lightweight wheels/tyres, great back road with views of wiltshire one side and dorset the other. Links the Chalkes to top of Win Green towards Shaftesbury. Keeps off the main roads for a few Km's!

Ox Drove Road (Cranborne Droves Way Trail)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old drove roads have been here for thousands of years providing the safest way of travelling and moving cattle across the land. This road was probably used to move the cows towards Salisbury and then onward to the ports at Southampton.
The section that is rideable today passes an old ale house, dew ponds and grain storage sheds. The surface is easily rideable on a mountain bike but does get a bit muddy in the winter. Great views all year though!
This is part of the Cranborne Droves Way Trail, a 27km route that links the Sarsen Way at Salisbury with the Wessex Ridgeway Trail at Win Green.
