Cyclist's Shadow Hill Climb

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can’t beat your shadow, no matter how hard you push. 🦵

Tip by

15.2 km

You should get a good view of the northern Saxon earthen banks of the Wareham. These ramparts are some of the best examples of Saxon defences in the country.
Built by Alfred the Great in the 9th century to defend the town from the Danes as part of his system of burgh towns. The Danes invaded and occupied Wareham in 876, and only left after Alfred returned with an army and made a payment of Danegeld. In 998 they attacked again, and in 1015 an invasion led by King Canute left the town in ruins

Woodsford Castle

Highlight • Castle

This is the surviving part of a 14th-century castle, a rambling wing of great interest and charm, deep in Hardy country just outside Dorchester. Its roof has one of the largest expanses of thatch in the county. Just one side of the quadrangular castle, built in 1370 and probably added to an existing group of buildings, remains today.

Wareham Quay

Highlight • Historical Site

A historic market town on the banks of the River Frome in Dorset, Wareham has plenty of pretty buildings and riverside relaxation spots. The quayside is particularly lovely with the Old Granary pub, benches for watching the ducks go by and even a traditional market.

It's an ideal place for a snack stop on a bike ride in the area and is also the start of the Purbeck Cycle Ride.
