Just saw the word "trails" in the subject. Not into off-road myself, but my brother often heads up to Old Harry Rocks (eastern tip of the Purbeck Hills) from Studland and there are lots of bridleways along the Purbeck ridge. |

I like single track stuff mainly From Lulworth you can pick up the South West Coast Path and head toward Hardys Monument at Blackdown, see: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap...=86919&A=Y&Z=3 It's more pleasant than exciting but has good views and is generally very well signed so you can just about manage without a map. Regards, Pete |

I like single track stuff mainly Thanks Some nice trails in the area, nothing very technical or demanding though. Steer clear of the army ranges but otherwise just get yourself the OS 25000 map of the area and chose your trails. I particularly like the one from Studland out to Old Harry Rocks then along the ridge tops to Corfe and beyond and then back along the cliff tops to Swanage and Studland. Tony |

Hi,
There is a good off road ride from Studland through Remstone Forest joining minor roads to Wareham, this takes you through woodland and across the great heaths. Wool to Stoborough through Bindon and Westholme is a fairly quiet backroad with another good bit not far away from Creech to East Creech and then through a woodland bridleway to Norden, this was good fun. A useful guide book is a A Mountain Bike Guide to the Highways and Bridleways of Dorset by Steve Wrann, Power Publications £4.95 availabable locally. There is also a Purbeck cycle ways leaflet, have a good trip it is a great area. Andrew. |

Forgot to say, you can get some downhills leaving the downs. IIRC the one into Osmington from White Horse was puckering! See: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap...=83500&A=Y&Z=3 Regards, Pete |
