Walk

Newfield Farm is the best place to be if you love to go walking. There is a large OS Map in the entrance hall of Rose Cottage with all footpaths, bridleways and cycle tracks clearly marked. This map is also handy for plotting circular walks taking in the wonderful Dorset pubs including the Langton Arms in Tarrant Launceston, The Museum Inn in Farnham, The King John Arms in Rushmore, the Anvil Inn in Pimperne and many more.

If you are in need of some inspiration we have put together a list of our favourite Dorset rambles;

The Wessex Ridgeway – a beautiful ridge-top route crossing through Dorset’s rural heartland. Take in amazing scenery and look out for one of our other farms, a dairy with fields right at the top of the downs between Shaftesbury and Salisbury.
The North Dorset Trailway – a purpose built track following the old Somerset and Dorset Railway passing through many villages and towns. Many of the old stations have been renovated making for great pit stops for coffee and ice cream along the way!
The Dorset Jubilee Trail – a quiet and little know trail passing many churches, winding through quiet villages an over rolling hills, absolutely beautiful.
