Starting out from Bournemouth centre along the greenway that starts in Bournemouth's upper gardens or from Canford Heath to Wimborne. Back down the Castleman Trailway, which is an old decomissioned railway, to Upton country park and then along Holes Bay to Poole Quay.
To extend the ride on this occasion we went NW from Wimborne over to the northern side of Badbury rings and round back to the south through down an old Roman road to Sturminster Marshall over the old Mill and onto Lytchett Matravers and Upton country park and then Poole Quay. This extended route does miss out the Castleman Trail which in itself is great but this is lovely option if you wat to see and do a bit more. From Poole Quay we would take the cycle path along Baiter's water front and Whitecliff with wonderful views across Poole harbour.
Getting back on the road briefly through Lilliput and up to Evening Hill which provides more stunning views across Poole Harbour then down the hill to Shore Road where we pick up the promenade all the way back to Bournemouth pier.
