Title: TR - St Aldhelm's Head, Dorset
Post by: Seferix on 11:14:18, 30/10/18
This is a superb short walk for those who have a spare 2.5 hours. It takes in such a beautiful part of the Jurassic Coast with amazing rock formations, dramatic cliffs and tranquil coves.

Stunning photos. All of them. And the other two posts you made about the area too. We had about 3 hours there. Clearly we need to go back and do some more exploring!

You make me feel very fortunate in living just down the road from here. This is my training ground for long distance walks. Lulworth to Swanage, at 19½ miles and 3,657 feet of ascent, is a grueller.

I'll be walking in that area next week, can't wait.
