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. At the sharp left bend by the Church,

lane for a further half mile or so to the 30 mph, 'P' and Chaldon Herring
