Overview

 

**This walk is part of the Lulworth Getaway which is fully booked**

From Creech Hill car park we walk to Povington Hill with stunning views over surrounding countryside; then descending gravel track to Tyneham village stopping for 20 minutes to look at the school, church and farm.  We follow the path to Worbarrow Tout for a banana break and stunning views overlooking the bay and Isle of Wight and Portland in the distance.  We then ascend steeply up to the ridge with sea views and down into Kimmeridge Bay (dinosaur found here) for a packed lunch. After lunch we walk to Kimmeridge and from the church we ascend to some minor road walking through Hyde Wood continuing through Whiteway Farm and ascend back to the car park.
