Walk details:-

 

Turn left as you leave the car park and follow the road into the village. After ¼ mile, as the road turns sharp right up into the village, you need to take the left turn up the minor road to your left.

 

Follow this road for ¼ mile and just past the Challow car park on your left, as the road bears right, bear left through the gate and up the track.

 

This will lead you up to the radar mast on Rollington Hill (1/3 mile). Turn sharp left at this point and head back along the grass ridgeway towards East Hill with Corfe Castle straight ahead and the village to your left.

 

After ½ mile, there will be a sign leading you down a short, steep path that will bring you out on the lane you entered previously. Turn right and right again and head back to the car park.
