South West Coast Path West Lulworth to Weymouth Hike
The South West Coast Path is Britain’s longest national trail, and completing it earns you some pretty serious hiking props, even if you do it in sections. I’ve carefully selected this stretch in Dorset as it exhibits some of the trail’s finest features. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are two of Britain’s most iconic natural landmarks, and the cliff walk into Weymouth is a fine example of what terrain lies in store as you continue into Devon and Cornwall.
These are also ideal spots to break off and go swimming, if that’s your bag. The entire trail is epic, and there are endless adventures to be had along the way. Watching the white cliffs in Dorset morph slowly into red in south Devon, and then fade to black once you reach Cornwall is a privilege that only a coastal traveller can experience.
