South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove Walk
Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove walk Weymouth Bay, then a dramatic cliff walk past small beaches, then higher cliffs past Durdle Door (stack) to Lulworth Cove Length 11.1 miles / 17.8 km Toughness 8 out of 10 - 2,400 feet / 730m of ascent (lots of small climbs) Features This spectacular coast walk follows the waymarked South West Coastal Path (SWCP) / England Coast Path (ECP) from Weymouth (seaside town with picturesque harbour) along its seafront promenade, then over spectacular cliffs and past secluded coves and beaches towards Durdle Door (stack) and Lulworth Cove. All, with views over Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland. The start is gentle - along the seafront then seawall. Then over a small hill (pub, cafe, both with sea views) to Bowleaze Cove with its spectacular art deco hotel. Then past some small beaches to the Smugglers Inn in Osmington for lunch. After lunch the cliff top path continues on past Ringstead and above Burning Cliff beach (the fire went out in in 19th C). It passes St Catherine-by- the-Sea church (nice picnic spot), and then becomes an undulating cliff edge walk (a more level inland option is available) to Durdle Door (a stack, great beach) before descending to Lulworth Cove. Return to Wool Station by bus (summer only) or taxi This walk can also be done in reverse, indeed transport considerations may may that a better option. In this case, take a bus from Wool to Lulworth Cove. At the end, continue along the coast to Weymouth's Historic Harbour area which is much nicer than the tacky seafront next to the train station https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/weymouth-to-lulworth-cove/ 1/6 You hardly need a map for this walk as the SWCP is very well waymarked, and you are just following the coast, but it is useful to check your progress.

The Geology Durdle Door, Dorset Chalk Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Tectonic Structure New Marker Beds
Wessex OUGS Field Guide to Durdle Door, Dorset, May 2018 The Geology Durdle Door, Dorset Chalk stratigraphy, sedimentology and tectonic structure New marker beds Durdle Cove, Dorset looking west over Scratchy Bottom and Swyre Head to Bat’s Head. The line of caves at the foot of the cliff in Durdle Cove is formed on the Durdle Cove Thrust (see also Rowe 1901, Plate III, pp. 16-17). Open University Geological Society Wessex Group Field Excursion Sunday 13th May 2018 Leaders: Rory Mortimore and Jeremy Cranmer Field guide prepared by Rory Mortimore www.chalkrock.com Based on the paper Late Cretaceous stratigraphy, sediments and structure: gems of the Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset, England just going into press in the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 2018. 1 Wessex OUGS Field Guide to Durdle Door, Dorset, May 2018 Wessex OUGS Field Trip Durdle Door, Durdle Cove, Scratchy Bottom and Bat’s Head Late Cretaceous stratigraphy, sediments and structure: gems of the Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset, England Introduction Extraordinary, long-distance litho-marker beds such as the Lewes and Shoreham Tubular Flints and associated marl seams and fossils (Fig.2), recognised in cliff exposures and cliff-fall boulders, are keys to unlocking the stratigraphy and tectonic structures in the Late Cretaceous (Fig.1) of the Jurassic Heritage Coast. Durdle Cove is a special gem exposing the Lewes and Seaford Chalk stratigraphy where these and new marker beds are identified and where sediments and tectonic structures provide clues to timing of movements that produced a Late Cretaceous pericline which grew into a Miocene monocline along the line of the underlying Purbeck Reverse Fault.

“Local Walks from Weymouth”
“ Local walks from Weymouth” Picture by Ron Glynn WELCOME TO OUR WALKS LOG, October 2017 to March 2020. When I started this log, my first job was to mark all our start points on my essential piece of equipment, the 1; 25000 OS map, OL 15, Purbeck and South Dorset. I was surprised and pleased to see how we had speckled the map, given that the venues were chosen mainly for free parking! But we had covered the area from west to east, with each venue leading to not only our walk(s) shown later but also to areas ripe for further exploration. So given that each walk is 2 ½ to 3 ½ miles or 4/5kms or 7/9000 steps and takes around 1 ½ hours what do you need to join in? Apart from boots/trainers, layered clothing, hat, stick and dog (if owned or borrowed!) your essential equipment is a map, as above, to which you can add modern adjuncts if you wish. NB: 1:25,000 means that roughly 2 inches on the map represents 1 mile on the ground. Each map is covered by a grid of 1 mile squares, on our map numbered 53 to 76 west to east and 73 to 95 south to north. (The map is double sided with Purbeck on the back). On our list of start points there are BOLD 6 figure numbers. These are GRID REFERENCES and from them you can find anywhere on the map. So, for example, the Heights Hotel, 5 in our list is 69 2 73 3, the 3rd and 6th numbers being points.
