Bridport walk of the month: Loop around Uploders
By Lottie Welch
17th Apr 2022 | Local News
Each first Friday of the month we will be sharing a circular walk in and around our local area for our newsletter subscribers to enjoy. We use the OS Map app, which is very useful if you are out walking.
This week's walk is a three-mile loop in Uploders, taking around one hour and 20 minutes - it was very muddy.
Start at the Crown Inn - great place to stop for a pre or post-walk drink! - and turn right towards the village, following the sign to Askerswell and Maiden Newton.
After the phone box on your right, take the first footpath on your left just before a stone wall. At a metal gate, turn right into a field and go round to the left, signposted Powerstock.
Just as you enter another field, turn left into another and turn right to walk through it towards a pylon before turning left to walk up the side of the field.
Continue straight at a crossroads and go straight through the next field - it's very muddy - before going through a little gate at the end.
Walk up towards Mappercombe Manor but turn right before going past it. Continue straight and then follow the path through the next field. The field will then turn into a track. At the end of the track take the second right down a footpath. It is very muddy and uneven.
When it opens up into a field, follow a faint path going diagonally right to the top right-hand corner of the field and go up to the lane.
Cross over it to go down the lane opposite. Continue straight along this path, going past farm buildings on your right, and go round to the left to pass a house on your right before going round to the left to come out onto a road.
Turn right and follow the road back to the start.
This walk is just a suggestion, you can of course take any different routes you wish to make it more direct or make it longer. Always take extra care where the ground is uneven or wet.
Please leave gates as you find them - if you opened it, close it.
Please keep dogs on leads around livestock.
