Starting at the village pub, St Peter's Finger, wander between country estates and World War crash sites, not all with a sorry ending. Discover the old roads of the landscape, one topped with concrete the other with grass breaking through. Explore the county lanes and medieval woodland tracks to Foxhill, with views across an ancient landscape to a disappearing Iron Age Hillfort. Return via an empty farm, a religious sanctuary and an overgrown tree avenue to the church. Buried in the graveyard is an explorer with a colourful life of adventure and love, the Himalayas engraved into his headstone.
Little roads and country tracks are what circle the landscape around Lytchett Minster. The medieval trackway of Stratton Row leads up to the ancient landscape of Bulbury Hillfort. Little remains of the fort today, having been trumped by agriculture and a golf course. However, the area is skimmed by Roman roads travelling north and west from Poole Harbour, the Hillfort would have been unable to escape the invasion.
