Walking and Rambling around Lulworth Cove
Overview
Get back to nature and stride out on foot to explore the beauty of this part of the country. Whether it be walking routes or off the beaten track, you’re sure to enjoy wandering around and taking in the sights.
Discovering Britain walk with the Royal Geographical Society: Partly Real, Partly DreamA mile south of YHA Lulworth Cove, the natural spectacle of the hostel’s namesake is reason enough to holiday here. Formed by water swell at the end of the Ice Age, the cove has been continually eroded ever since. Photographs duly snapped it’s time to set off. Today you’ll traverse a variety of terrain that includes undulating chalk cliffs, grassy paths and quiet country tracks until you reach the fine Georgian seafront at Weymouth. YHA Portland lies five miles beyond at the northern tip of the limestone isle.
