Overview

This Sunday Ramble takes us along the Dorset Coast starting in Worth Matravers. From there we drop steeply down to the SW coast path at Seacombe Cliff and along to Dancing Ledge and onto Durlston Head and Durlston Country Park. The return is slightly inland before returning to Worth Matravers on Priests Way. Map: OL15.

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Nicky A 07907859922) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)
