This is the most sensible route from Wimborne to Poole. A very nice, nearly all off road route....
The first thing I would say is that if you want to walk this route then don't park in Sturminster as that will leave you with a walk along a fairly busy and fast B road with no verge - it's just too risky and unpleasant. Instead, park in the National Trust car park (free) at White Mill, just to the North of Sturminster Marshall....

The route mainly follows the Stour Valley Way from Wimborne to the outskirts of Bournemouth....

The route then joins the fully pathed path along the edge of Holes bay to Poole station and town centre....

Walk this routeAnne Brown added Sixwim three, a new walk from Sixpenny Handley to Wimborne Minster
Walk this routeThe route is not suitable for cyclists over its whole length so I would recommend making two routes, one better for walkers and one suitable for cyclists....
Anne Brown
I Walked this from Wimborne to Ferndown and was very pleasantly surprised by how much I could cover without encountering traffic. A large part was along the River Stour which was teeming with early spring activity and on Ferndown Common saw my first Male sand lizard. I am local and loved this walked and will be doing it again soon....
