Ridge Too Far

Dorset

32 km / 20 miles
Put together the stunning contrast of some fine ridge walking with some of Dorset's most spectacular views and you have the recipe for a truly remarkable walk. Take time to have a drink in Britain's smallest pub - the Smiths Arms - then cross the crystal clear waters of the River Cerne and discover the clandestine lakes of the Cerne Valley before entering the picturesque chocolate box village of Cerne Abbas.
