The Walk
The day was cool and
overcast, but nothing too bad to deter a hardy group of walkers. We parked on
the grass adjacent to the Winterborne Clenston Church, as we have so often in
the past. Then we walked through Whatcombe Wood, Holloway’s Wood and Lee Wood,
all of which shaded us from the cool north-easterly breeze. We stopped for
lunch in Winterborne Whitechurch. Did you know that in 1086 in the Domesday
Book, the village was called simply Winterborne and had only three households
and six acres of meadow. The Lord and tenant-in-chief was Milton Abbey.
After
lunch, we took the shorter route back to the cars, paralleling the Whatcombe
Road.
