Now here is a magical place. We recently took our trailer to Dorset for a couple of weeks with the intention of exploring some new bike rides. On this ride I take you from our base camp along country roads that crisscross the Dorset plains and heathland. We pass through the town of Wareham. Then we turn sharp left into Nutcrack Lane on our way to the ancient Corfe Castle, one of Britain's most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. We ride to the town square in Corfe and surprise a group of students about to visit the castle. Then we loop around the castle site and more lanes and villages before winding down with a visit to the castle site itself. Whilst you exercise to this ride watch out for the falling tree and see if you spot it!
