| From Seaton we follow the coastal
path as it extends eastwards towards Lyme Regis. This section is quite strenuous walking
which includes the famous landslide, now a nature reserve. From Lyme Regis to Charmouth is
a Fossil hunters paradise. Then on to the 627ft (191m) headland of sandstone known as
Golden Gap, the highest point on the South Coast of England, giving splendid views all
round. At Abbotsbury, the famed Swannery and nature reserve are worth a visit. The Chesil
bank becomes evident and with it the first sight of the Isle of Portland, a former Naval
Base. An optional extra day walking around the island can be included in the walk. After
Weymouth, the walking is strenuous from Osmington Mills as you approach Durdle Door to
Lulworth Cove. If the ranges are open the walk follows the cliff, otherwise there is a
detour. At Kimmeridge Bay the nodding donkey pumps oil from the shale. The last night is
spent in Swanage and the walk ends along the beach at the Sandbanks Ferry. Chapmans Pool |
