Walking Group

The Walking Group is open to all PHSG members and has been in existence since 1997. It aims to develop wellbeing both physically and mentally by being outside in the natural environment and to promote new friendships and camaraderie.

If you would like any further information or fancy joining a walk, please get in touch by selecting the ‘Walking Group’ option on the Contact Us page

Walks are held every 10 days on alternate Wednesdays and Saturdays and are organised by Walking Group members who endeavour to source walks that suit all the walking members requirements.

Each walk allows for those who are able to walk up to 3 miles at a standard pace and also for those who prefer to walk around 1 mile at a slower pace.

The walks do not involve steep hills or tricky stiles and help is always at hand if required. Walking is at a pace that allows time to stop to admire views, observe the wonders of nature and enjoy bird song.

Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!

NEXT WALK – Wednesday 23rd September, 10:30am

Hartland Moor, near Corfe Castle

Our next walk is at Hartland Moor, near Corfe Castle. The route is mostly flat with a couple of small slopes, across fields and gravel pathways. It may be a little uneven in places but there are no stiles to navigate. Sturdy footwear, waterproof jackets, walking poles / sticks for support are recommended. A filled water bottle should always be taken on our walks – according to my weather forecast we are in for another hot sunny day! 

The shorter route will return on the same path as and when a walker decides they have had enough. 

Directions:- From the A35 Bakers Arms roundabout take the exit leading towards Wareham on the A351. Take the bypass round Wareham staying on the A351 until the Norden roundabout. That’s the last roundabout just before Corfe Castle.

Take the 1st exit LEFT at the Norden roundabout 

IMMEDIATELY TURN LEFT  again, following the road for a good 2 miles, crossing over a cattle grid and passing Scotland Farm on the bend.

There is no postcode 

OS grid reference :- SY 963856

Parking is on a right hand lay-by with a path to Middlebere Farm. Opposite, across the road, the gateway leads onto the Moor.

Start time is at 10.30am

Lunch venue:- The Kings Arms, 3 Corfe Road, Stoborough, BH20 5AB

The pub opens at 11am but our lunch reservation is booked at 1pm.

Please RESERVE your lunch seat by NOON on Monday 21st September by contacting the Walking Group Coordinator by selecting ‘Walking Group’ on the Conatct us page.
