Most railway stations along the line do not have toilets, including Weymouth, so if needed, it is advisable to use the train toilets before alighting.

The walks are risk assessed, and, if necessary, may need to be changed at short notice.   For your health and safety, we recommend that you wear good walking boots/shoes, consider if you need trekking poles, and bring sufficient food/drink for the walk.
