WALKS IN DORSET at TOLLER PORCORUM & TOLLER FRATRUM [4K]

This is another video in my series “ Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the villages of Toller Porcorum & Toller Fratrum which are located 10 miles to the North West of Dorchester in Dorset. I parked my car by the church in School lane (just off the High Street) in Toller Porcurum and start my 4 mile circular walk with a look at the church of St Peter & St Andrew. I then head South to explore what remains of the old railway station – basically just a platform! I then head through the village, over the railway bridge & past the Old School House, to the South West where I take a track which becomes an overgrown (!) footpath (the finger post points to Toller Fratrum). The next section of the walk is uphill, past Ferndown Farm, and on to a ridge before heading East towards Wynford Wood. I descend into a valley & up the other side (with the woods on my left) to a couple of finger posts on the Jubilee Way. Ignoring the path back to Toller Porcurum, I continue on to Toller Fratrum. Toller Fratrum is a small hamlet and I get the chance to explore the delightful tiny church of St Basil before returning to the Westerly track back to Toller Porcorum, The homeward leg gives me the opportunity of enjoying some stunning landscape views as well as a wander along part of the disused railway track. It was a glorious Autumnal day although the low sun was a challenge at times – trying to prevent sun glare on the camera! Map courtesy of Google Maps. Aerial pictures courtesy of Google Maps.

TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OS MAP! 1) From church, walk over railway bridge and along to end of Toller Porcorum High Street. At bend in road just after “Toller Porcorum” board, turn down “Toller Fratrum” footpath signed track. Before cantilever metal gate, take left “overgrown” footpath. 2) Descend downhill, over a stream & straight up on to grass track over a sedge field. See Ferndown Farm up ahead. Continue up along right hand hedge into narrowing corner right of the cottages. Go through gate & continue uphill on farm track. Pass bridleway arrows on right fence point. 3) Reach the left fork way bridleway arrow post half gate. Go through gate (on left) up & over a high field to gate on other side (to East). Go through that gate & another one then turn right & follow path alongside hedge (woods are on your left). At next gate, turn left downhill (steep) into a valley & cross wet area at bottom & climb other side. Go through gate and walk left (wood on left) over field aiming for corner roadside gate appearing left of a bar /trees. 4) Go on to road and immediately take left footpath back towards woods. Follow side of woods (Eastwards) until you come across a pair of finger posts. Ignore track back to Toller Porcorum but continue along ridge (to Toller Fratrum) past clumps of beech trees. Through end path gate and take “footpath” directly across field (it will not be an obvious path across the field!). Aim for church & look for a gate at end of field. Go through gate & follow sunken path (watch out for brambles) which continues downhill, through a field to a gate at the bottom of a farm track. 5) Go through gate & continue left along track BUT first turn right and after 100 yards spot a pretty thatched cottage on the left. Go up a track beside it to visit St Basil's church before heading back to the route. Follow the farm track Westwards, going under an aqueduct. Follow this track – it starts to bend uphill. It splits into a fork – follow the right hand fork which is now grass – uphill. Look out for a metal footpath gate on your right (well hidden) & go through that to follow a path across a field downhill. It crosses a stream. Go over stream & gate & head uphill. 6) Walk half left over field to corner stile with Toller Porcurum ahead. Over stile, walk down field to right corner footbridge & half gate. Go over and cross track to a kissing gate into a field corner. Cross to next kissing gate on other side of field (well hidden!). Go through & walk straight down into a thicket with left footbridge. Cross over to stile on to old railway track, Follow railway track left (it is a permissive path) & it takes you back into Toller Porcurum.
