Smitten Corner Trail Junction

Highlight • Viewpoint

Smitten Corner has a rather lovely name for what is essentially just a small car park. There's much more than meets the eye though, as so many footpaths, bridleways and other ways seem to converge here, you're quite spoilt for choice for adventures.

Hardy's Monument lies mere moments up the road, as do far-reaching views, pockets of woodland, a sculpture area and Neolithic burial chambers.

St Catherine's Chapel, Abbotsbury

Highlight • Viewpoint

The classic Abbotsbury view is of Chesil Beach. It's a quaint village with a swannery, but the roads are so nice you'll probably be going too fast to look at the birds.

Upwey Wishing Well

Highlight • Historical Site

This sweet wishing well is actually the source of the River Wey, which flows south and enters the Channel at Weymouth. Unlike the sources of many rivers which are found in boggy fields, this has been rather harnessed for public enjoyment and is said to have been a favourite location for King George III.

It now resides in the stunning gardens of a tearooms, and is a lovely place to rest whilst on a hike in the area. The Jubilee Trail, a long-distance hiking route traversing Dorset, passes right by.
