Overview

A well-loved walk, shortened to get home in time for the Sunday roast. 

We will walk Eastwards, inland on paths and lanes before heading out along the South West Coast path and back to Ringstead. 

One long hill from West Chaldon out to the coast path. 

One or two short stops for a cuppa and to enjoy the views, which are some of the finest SWCP has to offer on a good day. 

Car Parking is free for National Trust members or paid for others, up to £4.00.

Consider car sharing; environmentally friendly, cheaper, and social.
