After Swyre, the walk continues to Puncknowle - at approximately 10.30am at the church - and then on to Litton Cheney - for about 11.30am. The White Horse Pub might make an excellent coffee stop! You can join the walk for as much or as little as you would like but we anticipate the whole walk taking approximately 3 hours. You'll need stout walking shoes as some of the paths cross fields. Dogs on leads are welcome to come too.

St Nicholas Church , Abbotsbury

St Nicholas Church is open during daylight hours to welcome the weary traveller. Do come in, rest awhile and and enjoy the surroundings of the Grade 1 listed church.

St.Nicholas dates from the late 14thcentury or early 15thcentury and was built as the parish church, alongside the Abbey Church of St Peter. The only remains of the Abbey are a wall to the south of the church, and St Catherine’s chapel about a mile away.

A calendar of services can bee viewed on the site, you are welcome to join us for worship.
