Our verdict
Worth combining with a visit to the Larmer Tree Gardens or the wider Rushmore Estate if you're in the village — a gentle, low-key stop rather than a destination on its own.
Open access land on the edge of Tollard Royal, a village straddling the Wiltshire/Dorset border on Cranborne Chase, a stone's throw from the Larmer Tree Gardens — created by landowner Augustus Pitt Rivers in 1880 as Britain's first private pleasure grounds opened free to the public, on the Rushmore Estate.
Open access land — you can roam freely on foot.
