Dorset can be challenging for cyclists - the high chalkland hills create beautiful, undulating scenery that ask a lot of a cyclist’s lungs and legs. As in all the other areas we cover, there are traffic-free opportunities, most famously with the North Dorset Cycleway, which wends its way through classic Hardy country, and the Castleman Trailway, a disused railway line following the old Southampton to Dorchester route.
