The mysterious network of sunken paths

Secret Dorset

Available for over a year

Tucked away on the Symondsbury Estate in West Dorset is a network of paths, recessed into the soil and hidden from the fields above. Holloways are the product of human activity and geology, which can date back thousands of years. Natural England experts Rosie Cummings and Andy Jeffries gave BBC reporter Harry Kille-Smith a walking tour of the curious lanes.
