Pubs/Cafes
On the route we recommend popping into the White Horse Inn in Stourpaine for some refreshments. It's a quaint pub of some note, dating back to the early 18th Century. Today, the inside provides an open-plan layout with a bar, restaurant, shop, post office, games room, wood burning stoves & an open fire. The external provides a covered outdoor decking area at the rear and a seating area out the front for warm summer days. There's also a village shop within the pub with a deli counter which sells a variety of delicious, fresh products. You can find the pub in the village at postcode DT11 8TA for your sat navs.
In Bere Regis, there's the Royal Oak to consider. The historic pub dates all the way back to the 16th century when it was originally a coaching inn. They serve good quality food and have a nice garden area for warmer weather too. You can find them on West Street with a postcode of BH20 7HQ for your sat navs.

Jubilee Trail, Penbury Knoll
Round barrows on the Dorset Ridgeway. A short distance to the east of the Hardy Monument, these two prominent bronze-age round barrows sit on the brow of the chalk ridge. The path on the left of the photo is the "inland South West coast path" and also the "Jubilee Trail", which coincide for a few hundred metres.
This way to Hell Bottom. It is about half a mile downhill to Hell Bottom from this spot on Bronkham Hill, along a footpath that isn't used too much (going by the amount of gorse and brambles on the way). The footpath joins the Jubilee Trail in Hell Bottom at the simply-named "Bench". In the hazy distance are the chalk hills to the north of Abbotsbury
