Overview

The walk starts in an easterly direction through part of the village and onto the Priest's Way to Swanage. There will be a short break in Swanage before continuing in a westerly direction along the South West Coast Path (SWCP) to Durlston Park and Castle. Here we will take a break for lunch, we then follow the SWCP west to Dancing Ledge and Winspit before heading inland back to our start point.
