We are the West Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The short walk starts at the Kings Arms in Langton Matravers and follows footpaths passing a Scout Hall opened by Ralf Reader! Then passing Langton House, crossing the Priests Way before passing Spyway barn with interesting story boards on display. Continuing south towards the sea note the carved cows head in the dry-stone wall before beginning the steep descent using steps and grassy slope to reach Dancing Ledge. There is then a 3.2 kilometre walk along the SWCP to arrive at the Swanage Light House, passing the obvious Mile Indicator Posts used to measure a mile by starting and finishing when the posts line up. https://swanagecoastguard.blogspot.com/2011/03/mile-markers.html
From the light house we leave the SWCP and follow the metaled track to Durlston Castle car park where we rejoin the SWCP. This is followed to reach Peveril Point and the final walk into Swanage and back to the Coach.
The South West Coastal Path can be rugged, muddy and steep, boots and walking pole(s) are recommended.
Please bring sufficient water and food.
(There are no loos on the SWCP until we reach Dalston Castle on the outskirts of Swanage.)
