Corfe Castle Ride
Description
This short circular ride starts in Wareham and follows a series of country lanes to the fascinating ruins at National Trust owned
Corfe Castle
. The route also visits Hartland Moor Nature Reserve, Stonehills Down Nature Reserve and crosses Stoborough Heath before returning to Wareham. You will also pass a series of peaceful, pretty villages including Church Knowle, East Creech and Stoborough Green.
Another route highlight is the beautiful
Blue Pool Dorset
. This disused clay pit is now a beauty spot because of the unusual turquoise colours of the pool. There are also delightful wooded trails and a pretty tea room to stop for refreshments. You'll also pass close to the
Arne Nature Reserve
where you could lock up the bike and look out for a variety of birdlife.
