Spetisbury Rings Walk

26th August, 2007

Four of us met in the car park of the Drax Arms at Spetisbury intent on following a circular route. What we didn't realise was that the bridge over the Stour was down, so we had to reroute and visited Spetisbury Rings and the old Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway route.

The path leads over a raised footway above beautiful gardens.

Off we go, along a path lined with edible berries.
