Overview

Heading out of Wool, we’ll walk towards Coombe Keynes and the Lulworth Estate. Following some of the Hardy and Purbeck way, we’ll hopefully get beautiful views over Lulworth from the ridge. After lunch, we’ll head down the valley to East Chaldon, onto Winfrith Newburgh and back to Wool. We will be mainly following good tracks.
