In this episode of my series “Walks in Dorset”, I take a walk from Yetminster to Chetnole and back, taking in a visit to Chetnole Halt - the least used railway station in Dorset! Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.
I park my car in Yetminster and start my 4 mile circular walk with a wander through the village. Beginning at the railway station, at the Eastern end of the village, I walk along the main street (heading West) which is full of pretty houses & cottages.
A quick visit to the Church of St Andrews is followed by a look at Upbury Farm - thought to be one of the oldest buildings in the village and once the home of Benjamin Jesty (one of the pioneers of inoculations against smallpox).
I then head out of the village, down Mill Lane and across the Wriggle River, passing the old Mill. From there, I follow footpaths across fields before picking up a byway heading South towards the village of Chetnole.
At Chetnole, I check out the Chetnole Inn and explore the Church of St Peter in the village.
Before starting my return journey to Yetminster, I take a further detour to the South West of the village, to visit Chetnole Halt - which averages less than 5 passengers a day!
I then retrace my steps back to Chetnole and at Manor Farm head West over the railway line and follow footpaths in a Northerly direction back to Yetminster.
My final destination is The White Hart pub in Yetminster.

I use a GOPRO HERO 7, 8 or 10 Black Action Camera (sometimes with a Gimbal) & a Rode microphone (either a “Shotgun” or a Rode Wireless Go) together with a Canon Powershot SX530 HS.
