We are the Wessex Wanderers Railway Walks. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A linear walk from Upwey to Weymouth, from time to time following streams and the River Wey, via fields and footpaths and Radipole RSPB Nature Reserve. To avoid taking a splash before reaching the sea, care will be needed on one stream bank in particular. There are one or two short uphill stretches, and there may be mud in places.
Enjoy the rest of the day in Weymouth, or the option of an extra walk around the harbour and Nothe Gardens
Picnic lunch, or various options in Weymouth.
