    Free parking at Okeford Hill picnic site (near DT11 0EF) or the lay-by almost opposite.

    This walk is NOT advisable after heavy rain. There is a bridge crossing over the River Stour near to Shillingstone Station. When the river is swollen, this area floods. A pleasant walk with great views during the dryer months.

    Takes in the Wessex Ridgeway, Shillingstone Hill (221m), North Dorset Trailway, Shillingstone Railway Station and ends a short drive away from refreshments at pub, Okeford Fitzpaine, DT11 0RN.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
