Overview

A popular walk through the contrasting landscapes of east Purbeck. Following paths, droves and old quarrying tracks the route passes through two villages before emerging onto the spectacular Purbeck coast. The South West Coast Path is then followed for several miles on exposed cliff paths with several steep ascents and descents, including the challenging ‘V’ steps on the approach to Chapman’s Pool. Alternative inland route available which avoids an exposed section of cliff path. Possibility of route diversions along coast due to landslips. 2 stiles. Please contact walk leader before walk to discuss any adjustments needed. Map: OL15.

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Phil H 07831379129) preferably by 9pm on day before walk or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic). Optonal pub refreshments at walk end.

Assistance dogs only.
