St Nicholas' Church and T. E. Lawrence Burial Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Cakes are served on the cart that was used to carry T E Lawrence's (aka Lawrence of Arabia) coffin to his final resting place - just a few metres down the road! On the route here you might even ride over the exact spot where he crashed on his Brough Superior Limited motorbike (the exact location remains a mystery but it's reportedly somewhere near Pallington Farm). Some might think he's a fictional character due to all the films made about his life but T E Lawrence was actually a British Intelligence Officer born in Wales but resident in Dorset, who fought alongside Arab guerrilla forces in the Middle East during the First World War. He later worked as an advisor to Winston Churchill and then for the RAF.

Moreton Ford Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

If you go through the water your balls are bigger than mine. It is achievable on a bike

Moreton Plantation

Highlight • Forest

This sweeping, coniferous forest is managed by the Forestry Commission and has plenty of tracks and trails to keep you occupied. Moreton Drive is a dead straight track that goes through the middle. Compacted gravel, touring bikes and anything heftier can handle it with ease. Road bikes can manage too but might be uncomfortable.

Moreton Ford Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The River Frome runs immediately north of Moreton and features an impressive ford and a lengthy foot/cycle bridge. The bridge is narrow and most enjoyable to traverse, giving wonderful aspects of the river from its midpoint. A bit of an attraction in the summer months and a good paddling spot, expect busyness during this time.

An easy little peaceful walk out with @SWD today. Visited the grave of T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, then to St Nicholas' Church, along a little walking route, and back.
