Summary A short woodland blast on the outskirts of Shaftesbury with a couple of technical treats in store.
1 Start either from the small car park at the edge of the trading estate or on Wincombe Lane itself. Head north east along Wincombe Lane following bridleway signs. At the junction at the corner of the woods turn right to follow the wide track along the edge of the woods. Keep an eye out for bombholes on the left for a play...
2 After 1.1km you’ll reach a junction. Turn sharp left, almost doubling back on yourself, to descend the singletrack in the gully – it’s boggy in
the wet with possible fallen trees, so take care. At the bottom climb back out of woods and through farm to a lane – yes, the bridleway goes through the garden.
3 At the lane turn left and climb on Tarmac. After 500m look out for gate to bridleway on the right through woods. If you reach another road you’ve missed it. Follow the little-used track to join road at junction. Go straight over to follow road opposite and descend for 400m.
4 Look out for a bridleway forking right up the bank – it’s easy to miss. Climb, then follow singletrack along the ridge. A steep, twisty, descent brings you back to the road.
5 Turn right and follow road for approx 3km, taking the third turn on the right (if you reach the A30 you’ve gone too far). Climb on lane then track. At the top turn left then straight on at junction of four trails. Follow track back to start point. |

| Spring and summer is best. Most trails fine all year round, but some sections get churned up during wet weather/winter. Try early evening in mid-summer for something special. |

| 30 mile loop. Do it anticlockwise.
Good descent to pub at half way point. Second half has a long slog along track but rest of it is a fun scenic excursion. |
