Around the Giant, Cerne Abbas

Starting at the Cerne Abbas picnic area car park this circular walk follows a footpath to the Benedictine Cerne Abbey, then through the cemetery and up the south east side of the Cerne Abbas Giant hill. It returns down the north west side of the Hill and passes the Giant before returning to the car park. There are excellent views of the Dorset downlands and the Cerne Valley from both sides of the hill.
