Frome Valley Trail

The Trail runs from Evershot Village Hall to Greys Bridge, Dorchester and passes through settlements of Sandhills, Chilfrome, Maiden Newton, Frome Vauchurch, Cruxton, Notton, Southover, Muckleford, Bradford Peverell, Charminster and Burton.

The trail is signed using a symbol based on an arrowhead which was designed to reflect the Bronze Age archaeological finds from the river valley.

[2][4][5] The Frome Valley is part of a major river and wetland restoration project, Dorset Wild Rivers, which is being led by Dorset Wildlife Trust and Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group South West, with funding from Wessex Water.

[16][17] There is a short (1.5-mile [2.4 km]) circular route near Dorchester called Ratty's Trail, which is named after the character in Kenneth Grahame's book The Wind in the Willows.

[21] The Times has published an 8.5-mile (13.7 km) circular walk in its Weekend section from Maiden Newton to Sydling St Nicholas via Cattistock.
