Cranborne, Dorset, South West England.
Cranborne Garden Centre and Tea Rooms is wonderful but will probably be booked up by now.
The Cranborne village is situated on Cranborne Chase an area of chalk downland in Dorset. Allow some time to explore the village where you can find a picturesque church, two pubs, a restaurant and the village store. Next to the village you will find Cranborne Manor set in beautiful gardens.
Cranborne is on the B3078 between Wimborne and Fordingbridge. The walk starts from the car park by Cranborne First School. Unfortunately the car park is often full but you can usually park nearby on the road.
Obviously where live stock are grazing dogs must be kept on the lead and appropriate care taken.
