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

The walk starts at Symondsbury and, after an interesting and ancient beginning, crosses fields down to Chideock then more fields to join the coast path. Up and over Golden Cap then onwards to Chardown and back to Symondsbury Estate car park via Hardown. A steady climb up to GC and a shorter climb up to Hardown but overall the walk is moderate. There will be mud and some parts of the path are slippery and there are muddy puddles in places. I strongly recommend having sticks with you for the downward sections. I have everything crossed for a fine day. It will be 3rd time lucky if I get one!!! We will need to be mindful of time, hence the earlier start, so the pace will be brisk when on easy walking stretches. Picnic, no dogs.
Proper toilets at the carpark and at Seaton and plenty of bushes till after Venn Farm.
Please check this website post 19:00 on the day before the walk in the rare event it has been cancelled.
