Lulworth Cove
There are many beautiful things about Lulworth. It's history, it's geology, the cove itself and the views from the top of the hill between Lulworth and Durdle door. The visitor centre is open all year and describes in detail how the cove was created. Even if geology doesn't rock your boat, go see it anyway because it's stunning. FOR SAT NAV BH20 5RH
Durdle Door
Durdle door is a short walk from Lulworth Cove. It's another wonderful example of the incredible geology that we are blessed with here in Dorset. Its twisted strata, chalk coves and beach make it one of my favourite places to visit. FOR SAT NAV BH20 5RH
Portland
Portland is a 140 million year old chunk of limestone. The stone itself is world famous, and is used to create some of the most beautiful buildings in the world including St Pauls Cathedral. Take a trip over to Portland and park at the Portland Heights hotel, here you will see one of the most beautiful views in the country Chesil Beach, Portland harbour and the Fleet lagoon. It is truely one of the most beautiful views you will ever see. From there take the short drive down to Church Orme and onto Portland Bill. SAT NAV DT5 2JT
Abbotsbury
You can be forgiven in thinking that this sleepy little village is closed. But in fact its a hive of activity with galleries, cafes and shops. It also has a world renowned swannery, a childrens farm and the south coast walking path runs alongside it. This picture is taken from the path over looking the fleet lagoon and the sea. Its beautiful. SAT NAV DT3 4JG
Burton Bradstock
A short and stunning drive from Weymouth is Burton Bradstock. The drive itself is stunning. Take a walk along the beach towards Lyme Regis, the towering cliffs are something else. There is an award winning cafe called www.hivebeachcafe.co.uk its on the beach front and the food is excellent. FOR SAT NAV DT6 4RN
Golden Cap 2 miles from Charmouth For Sat Nav Dt6 6ju
This walk is not for the faint hearted, firstly park in the car park at Seaton. There is a cost to this depending on the time of year but it’s around £4. An incline of 191 meters will take you to the top of the highest point on the south coast Golden Cap. The scenery from the top is breathtaking. From here you can either return the way you came, or head down the other side of Golden cap heading towards Charmouth. As you reach the bottom of the hill you will find a stream, cross the small bridge, over the style and to your left you will see the steps that lead you down to Chesil beach. IMPORTANT. This can only be done at low tide as there is a stretch of 200 yards which will involve climbing over some rocks. Once you get over the rocks walk along the beach to Seaton. The Anchor Inn is a great little pub, situated on the cliff side, the food is very good. SAT NAv CODE dt6 6ju
Lyme Regis
Lyme is quaint little village with a fantastic history. The towering jurassic cliffs make it a haven for fossil hunters. Parking is a problem in the height of the season so my advice is go out of season to enjoy what lyme had to offer. FOR SAT NAV DT7 3BS
Nothe Forte
I really enjoy walking up to Nothe Forte. The forte itself is interesting, but the view up there is stunning. From there you can see Portland, the harbour, Wyke Regis and Chesil Beach. There is great walk along the coast and depending on the time of year a cafe. DT4 8UF FOR SAT NAV
