We are the South Dorset Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is an undulating walk with one set of steep steps up from the coast, then paths through woodland, meadows, small hamlets, and some short sections of lane. Underfoot it is mostly OK but there are streams to cross and some downhill stretches which could be slippery if wet. Bring poles if you like to use them. There is one special feature, a disused viaduct, which is stunning and the largest one in the country for a light railway. I shall tempt fate and say the views at various stages are fabulous so let's hope the weather is kind!
We will stop for coffee and a picnic. in between the pace will be brisk.
This is a Dorset Council CP. 4 hours and over will be £9. I have tried to find cheaper options but have had no success. The football club next door advertised parking for £5 but I have had no reply to phone calls or emails. The Park and Ride buses do not fit the schedule, Woodmead CP in town, charges £1.50 an hour so not much different. Hopefully people will be able to lift share. I can take 3 people but I will be leaving at 8 .15am.
