World Stinging Nettle Eating Championship (2.2 miles)

Dorset’s answer to the chilli-eating contest. An argument between two local farmers over who had the longest nettles growing on his land led to this macho test of taste buds. Each June, crowds gather at The Bottle Inn to witness the showdown.

Pilsdon Pen (2.2 miles)

Traditionally thought of as Dorset's highest peak (277m), until it was recently found to be a few feet shy of its neighbour, Lewesdon Hill. Height notwithstanding, the Iron Age hill fort atop this flat-topped hill provides great views over the lush Marshwood Vale in west Dorset. Walk the ancient ramparts in a circular loop to take in the 360 degree panorama across the gentle rolling hills, whilst buzzards wheel overhead. Reach it off the B3164 Broadwindsor road.

Cricket St Thomas Gardens and Lakes (3.4 miles)

Formerly home to the Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park, the Grade II listed gardens and lakes on this Somerset estate re-opened to the public in spring 2010 after major refurbishments. Take a stroll around the grounds and enjoy the peaceful lakes and woodland walks, followed by afternoon tea in Hamilton's tea rooms.
