Non - Agglestone Rock

[billythekid]

Does anyone know the nearest place to park to get to this rock?

Is there a nearer place than Middle Beach car park?

Walked from the Bankes Arms car park yesterday to Old Harry Rocks, is the walk similar to Agglestone re hilly?

There is a free car park just before the golf course.

Do you mean the viewpoint car park?

These days I don’t like walking up steep hills, so if possible the shortest and easiest walk.

Thanks for the reply.

I think on Wadmore Lane, off Ferry Road in Studland village is probably the easiest - u might need to check parking resrictions, few years since I've been there

I found it on google maps.

Thanks, looked at that lane but couldn’t find anything about parking.

Saw another site that mentioned parking three quarters of a mile on side of road from the ferry and there is a sign to Godlingston Heath and from directions just over a mile from there.

I'm reliably informed u can park there, but its quite bumpy (wadmore lane I mean)

From experience, don't bother Billy.

I don't know what your expectations are; but it's not exactly Ayres Rock..........................

I see you don’t want us mainlanders over there in your beautiful Purbeck area.

We used to park on the ferry road and walk the dogs across the heathland. It sounds like it's the spot you're talking about. The walk is fairly level except as you get nearer the rock. Mostly sand and dirt trails which are easy to follow. You get a lot of off road cyclists using it.

Thanks, this was the website.

That looks like it. There's only room for 3 or 4 cars I think, maybe a couple more? We used to do the circular walk and as I remember you can walk down from point 2 to point 4 on the map to make the walk a bit shorter if you want. Memory's not so good these days I'm afraid.

Billy, the Agglestone is, according to Google, two miles from me.

I've not been there for 40 years.


I'm leaving it to you grockles.

I'm sure you'll find it easily enough, just follow the trail of empty drinks bottles and discarded crisp packets.

As it's been fairly dry for a few days on the heath, don't forget to take a portable barbeque as well.

According to Google it's ten miles from me and I've never heard of it. Before I opened the thread I thought Billy was now giving greyhound racing tips.

Have you visited the follies at rempstone ?? just ask in one of the cottages on the main road.......sure of a good reception.....

Today is a real school day, not only am I discovering Dorset landmarks I didn't know about but also that the devil throws like Harry Arter takes penalties.
