Walking in Dorset is a must for those looking for stunning scenery and a reasonable challenge. The South West Coastal path is one of the most beautiful walks in England. The 630 mile long, South West Coast Path, the longest of Britain's 15 National Walking Trails starts its path in Minehead, Somerset, then moves along the north coast of Devon, goes around Cornwall and Land's End, along the south coast of Devon, and then finally along the Dorset coast to Poole Harbour.
Another route is "The Hardy Way" is a walk for admirers of Thomas Hardy as it visits many of the settings for his novels. The 213-mile walk starts at his birthplace in Higher Bockhampton near Dorchester and then proceeds through the Piddle and Frome valleys. It joins the Dorset coast between Lulworth Cove and the Encombe Valley and then goes on to Corfe Castle and Dorchester before finishing in Stinsford Church where Thomas Hardy's heart is buried.
Furthermore for walking in Dorset we have the Rodwell trail and The Purbeck and South Dorest walk. Why not combine a holiday in Weymouth with one of our great walks.
Portland has an excellent coast to coast network of public footpaths, which gives superb access to places of amazing contrasts. Join any of these walks and you will soon discover a rich variety of features, which cannot fail to leave an impression.
Every part of the landscape, every view, shows the close interaction between man and nature.
Portland has been a Royal Manor since before the conquest of 1066, and there are few places with a richer or longer history. Relics form the Stone Age, and from Roman and Saxon occupation have been found. Portland played an important role in the Civil War; the building of St Paul's Cathedral, the D-Day Landings, and even an international spy scandal in the 1960's. (This centred around the top secret Admiralty Underwater Research Establishment, now the Southwell Business Park.) Fascinating buildings
range from the historic and grand, like Portland's three castles, and its unique churches, to simple rugged stone cottages of quarrymen and fishermen, all full of charm
