Black Down (Kingston Russell) to Upwey
For detailed descriptions of the Trail with maps, see the booklet The Dorset Jubilee Trail - A Rambler's Guide © Dorset Area of the Ramblers' Association 2008. See Ordnance Survey Getamap for mapping.
31 May 2012
This is a linear walk, mostly along field and country paths with short stretches on rural lanes. Moderate ascents; some care with navigation may be needed. Walk total approximately 10½ miles.
Refreshments at Upwey or Elwell at the eastern end of walk.
I took the bus from Bridport to the Kingston Russell Turn for the beginning of the walk. There is an hourly bus service from Weymouth, Dorchester, Bridport, Lyme Regis and Axminster, Monday to Saturday, with a less frequent service on Sunday. In order to avoid having to walk along busy A35 main road from the Kingston Russell Turn to Black Down (SY589907), follow, instead, the Macmillan Way in a north-easterly direction past Kingston Russell Farm and turn right (south-east) onto the Jubilee Trail at SY585918 (underneath the power lines).
At the end of the walk, I took the bus from Upwey to Bridport, changing at Dorchester.
