ST EDWARD'S WAY - WAREHAM TO WINTERBORNE KINGSTON

This long distance path goes from Wareham to Shaftesbury and will be organised in three Saturday walks as per the web site at https://www.shaftesburyabbey.org.uk/st-edwards-way. After visiting St Edward's Chapel in the Church of Lady St Mary,  the party will leave Wareham to cross the Common and the River Piddle and then traverse Wareham Forest via Woolsbarrow Fort.  When the forest ends the route passes through East Bloxworth and then following mainly bridleways across open downland to reach Winterborne Kingston after roughly 5.5 hours.
