This 9km walk begins at Jumpers Corner, Christchurch, opposite the Dolphin Motorhomes showroom. Cross the river over the footbridge from the park and follow the Stour Way.
Follow the route through Tuckton. Take the road bridge over the river -when built the longest bridge of its kind. It also had a tramway.
Turn right at the roundabout and follow the road to re-join the riverside through the park.
Take the path by the old mill and follow the stream round the edge of the priory site.
When you meet the road, take a detour left to the medieval castle, then turn back over the bridge.
Take the footpath on the right and follow it until you eventually enter the Sandpit Marsh Nature Reserve. Admire the views of Hengistbury Head and Mudeford as you loop round back to the road.
Turn left on the road to walk up the the bus stop back to the start.
