Rusty Duck Loop

Starting out from the historic Max Gate in Dorchester, we will head east out of the town on the cycle path then quiet country lanes. We follow route NCN2, as many of our routes do (e.g. to Moreton, Wool, Wareham and Arne), then turn north on Watery Lane towards Tincleton. Another left turn takes us on the lane where the Rusty Duck cafe sits.

Unfortunately, The Rusty Duck Café is closed on 13th September, so we won't actually pause there on our ride. Instead, we will extend our route by a mile or two to stop at either Kingston Maurward or Hardy's Cottage, both of which have lovely cafes, toilets, and plenty of space for our bikes.

After a pause at the café of choice for a cuppa and chat, we continue on the loop route, heading west towards Dorchester before another left turn to bring us back to the NCN2 route for the final section back to Max Gate on the cycle path.
