  • 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.

  • West Bay & Eype
    Crumbling cliffs of sand reveal falling sea levels some 180 million years ago. Fossil brittle stars found here and West Bay & Eype on display at Bridport museum offer a vivid glimpse of that long lost sea. Almost 500 years ago a blazing fire on Thorncombe beacon helped to warn the queen of the Eype Mouth & Down House Farm / Village approaching Spanish armada. • From the bus stop, walk west across the bridge and left around to the sea front esplanade. Continue west ascending the South West Coast Path. The path becomes level at the top with good coastal views, then descends to Eype Mouth. The path down to the stream is badly eroded and it may be easier to Walk Facts cross on the beach where the stream disappears into the shingle. The car park and café at Eype Mouth is open in season (located few yards up the road at Eype House Caravan and Camping Site). Start point Bus stop near West Bay harbour • Continue up the steep hill along the South West Coast Path and though a gate onto the Down House Distance 4.5 miles / 7km or 3.5 miles / 5.6km Farm National Trust Estate. Continue until the path splits by sign to ‘Garden Café’. At this point, for the energetic, a detour may be taken to the summit of Thorncombe Beacon, giving stunning Walking Time 120 mins not including stops views of the coast from Portland to East Devon. Difficulty Moderate with some steep sections and eroded paths. • Go up the hill then follow the signpost to the right for Down House Farm, through a field to the farm.

  • Evidence Report 2014
    (A Neighbourhood Plan for Portland, Dorset) Evidence Report April 2014 2 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report Contents: Topic Sections: page: Introduction 3 Natural Environment & Built Environment 4 People & Housing 38 Business & Employment 60 Roads & Transport 90 Community & Social Facilities 102 Leisure & Recreation 118 Arts, Culture & Tourism 132 Appendix A 152 © Portland Town Council, 2014 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report April 2014 3 Introduction Purpose Planning policy and proposals need to be based on a proper understanding of the place they relate to, if they are to be relevant, realistic and address local issues effectively. It is important that the Neighbourhood Plan is based on robust information and analysis of the local area; this is called the ‘evidence base’. Unless policy is based on firm evidence and proper community engagement, then it is more likely to reflect the assumptions and prejudices of those writing it than to reflect the needs of the wider area and community. We are advised that “the evidence base needs to be proportionate to the size of the neighbourhood area and scope and detail of the Neighbourhood Plan. Other factors such as the status of the current and emerging Local Plan policies will influence the depth and breadth of evidence needed. It is important to remember that the evidence base needs to reflect the fact that the plan being produced here will have statutory status and be used to decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area. It is necessary to develop a clear understanding of the neighbourhood area and policy issues covered; but not to review every piece of research and data in existence – careful selection is needed.”1 The evidence base for the Portland Neighbourhood plan comprises the many reports, documents and papers we have gathered (these are all listed in Appendix A, and are made available for reference via the Neighbourhood Plan website.

  • “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.

  • Tourism and Visitor Management
    Dorset Marine and Coastal Topic Paper Series 2012 Tourism and Visitor Management This topic paper focuses on visitor management on the Dorset Coast and summarises tourism in Dorset and outlines some possible future trends and their implications; The Dorset coast and its maritime waters are arguably Dorset's most important single tourism asset and one of the principal attractions for visitors to Dorset with the top visitor motivations for visiting the area were ‘seaside, beaches and coast’ (http://www.visitdorset.com/xsdbimgs/State%20of%20Tourism%20Report%202010.pdf. Tourism, however, is also a source of many of the pressures on the coastal environment and communities. An increase in visitors at any location along the Dorset Coast (whether one already under pressure from high visitor numbers or a perceived ‘tranquil’ zone) can potentially impact negatively on local landscape and infrastructure.
