FAMILIES are invited out on a Sunday stroll in the countryside around west Dorset.

Starting in April and running through until September, the Sunday Stroll walks will be based around Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Kingcombe Centre and surrounding Kingcombe Meadows Reserve, a beautiful ancient landscape spanning the full width of the River Hooke valley.

The reserve has been managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust using traditional methods, meaning that no artificial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides have been used.

DWT’s engagement and education officer Victoria Vincent said: “Following popular demand, we have launched these Sunday strolls so that more people could enjoy our themed walks.”

The strolls will begin on April 7 with ‘Welcome to Kingcombe’ led by Nick Tomlinson and cost £6 for adults and £3 for children.

Unless stated, walks start at the Kingcombe Centre at 10am. They will be led at a leisurely pace and cover up to two miles and include tea and cake back at the centre cafe.

For more information call The Kingcombe Centre on 01300 321409.
