Grange Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This hill has a demanding 20% gradient and is a real test of leg strength on the climb. If travelling the hill on a descent, it’s wise to keep your brakes engaged and stay alert, especially around any bends.

Wareham Quay

Highlight • Historical Site

A historic market town on the banks of the River Frome in Dorset, Wareham has plenty of pretty buildings and riverside relaxation spots. The quayside is particularly lovely with the Old Granary pub, benches for watching the ducks go by and even a traditional market.

It's an ideal place for a snack stop on a bike ride in the area and is also the start of the Purbeck Cycle Ride.

Arne Road

Highlight • Cycleway

This scenic road runs along the north side of the Isle of Purbeck peninsula past Arne RSPB. It's part of National Cycle Network route 2, and is a spectacular section of cycling.

The quiet lane winds through woodland as well as open heathland dotted with purple heather and yellow gorse.

Hartland Moor

Highlight • Cycleway

always lovely to cycle across the heathlands and nature reserves between Wareham and Corfe rather than the shorter and much busier direct road

View of Corfe Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

High above this village towers the ruins of a castle that was built here by William the Conqueror. During the English Civil War (1642-1651), Corfe Castle remained a royal stronghold for a long time, but in 1645 it was blown up by supporters of Parliament.
