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

This is a memorial walk for Peter Evans who was a popular previous Chairman of South Dorset Ramblers. Attendees should be members of Ramblers who knew Peter and his wife Hazel, who will be attending with members of their family.
We will start at the Swannery car park and follow the King Charles III Coast Path eastwards before cutting inland to Portesham and returning to Abbotsbury via the disused railway track (which is now part of the Hardy Trail).
There is one steep climb at the start of the walk but we will allow plenty of time at the top to enjoy the excellent views over the Swannery.
There will be time for a drinks stop and there will be lunch at Cherries in Abbotsbury for those people who have pre-booked.
Lunch will be at 12.30, and we will be joined by some non-walkers. Cherries is fully booked for lunch with people who have pre-booked.
Abbotsbury Swannery car park which is south of the main village (follow the signs to the Swannery). The Swannery will be open so you may need to visit the cafe and buy a drink before you start. Please be ready to start walking at 10.00 to ensure that we return in time for the lunch.
