Large car park signposted off the B3082

  1. From the car park at Badbury Rings, follow the path that runs alongside to the gallops on the north-west side of the site.

  2. After a while this drops down through a small wooded area and becomes a fenced path between two fields which climbs again to The Oaks.

  3. The National Trust have decided that it is far too dangerous to let people walk underneath the trees, and have diverted the footpath along the edge of the adjoining field.

  4. Keep along the edge of the field and through the old gateway.

  5. And then dog-leg right and left back onto the old footpath.

  6. Follow the path along the edge of the wood until you get to a T-junction. Turn right and follow the farm track through Kingsdown Farm. Don't miss the views from the gate over towards Wimborne. Note: This path can get very muddy.

  7. When you reach the crossways follow the Badbury Rings path, straight ahead up the hill.

  8. Go through the gate on the right-hand side of the path that leads on to the Rings.

  9. You can go trough the middle of the rings or round the north side, but I would recommend the inner ring on the sunny south side for the best views.
