The minor road between Bere Regis and Wool, passing Monkey World, is avoided on some SatNavs because it is officially an Army road.  However this excellent road has not been closed in living memory, so your best and quickest routes are:

From Blandford Forum A354

From the Blandford by-pass ollow the A354 for 3.5 miles (5.6km). Take the left turn onto the minor road to Bere Regis pass through Winterbourne Kingston and turn right onto the A31. Continue as next:

From Wimborne A31

Follow the A31 to where it ends at the roundabout just before Bere Regis. Take the first roundabout exit to Bere Regis and at the next roundabout take the second exit to Monkey World and Wool. Pass Monkey World and join the A352 at the next roundabout. Take the second exit to Wool. Continue as next:

From Wareham, Wool, Weymouth and Dorchester
Head for Winfrith Newburgh on the A352. Turn at the Red Lion pub and drive through the village for three-quarters of a mile.
