Kingston Russell Stone Circle is a wonderfully wild sort of day out, perched on a hilltop above Abbotsbury with big views towards the sea. This late Neolithic or early Bronze Age circle is made up of 18 fallen stones, and the walk out to it adds to the sense that you have found something ancient and slightly secret.
It is free to visit and open in daylight hours, but the setting is remote and exposed, with muddy ground possible in wet weather. Dogs are welcome on leads, which makes it a lovely pick for households who enjoy history with a side of proper countryside leg-stretching.
The combination of ancient stones, coastal views and open hilltop walking makes this a rewarding dog-friendly day out for anyone who likes their archaeology served with fresh air and a bit of solitude.
Good to know:
Water bowls available

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome on leads because the path crosses land grazed by cattle. It is wild, open and ancient, which makes for a brilliant walk, but keep paws close and let the stones stay exactly where they have lain for four thousand years.
