Linear Walk with bus ride
Starting with a bus ride to Bridport this walk is predominantly a coastal path walk from West Bay to Charmouth. I would consider this to be a moderate walk, with some steep sections. We will not be racing and walking at a steady pace with plenty of stops
Walk highlights
- Bridport Market
- West Bay harbour
- Golden Cap 623 ft (190 metres)
- Pub stop at Seatown Anchor Inn
- Picnic on the beach at Seatown
- Setting from the TV series Broadchurch
With a slow walk from Bridport there will be time to look at the market stalls on South Street.
From Bridport we will follow the river to West Bay where we will pick up the Southwest coastal path on the stunning Jurassic Coast.
Heading west to Seatown for a lunch stop before a climb up to top of Golden Cap to highest point on the south coast.
Watch out for the pre event email, for bus times as we will need to walk from the start to catch the bus. The event start time may move a little
