17 places left
This coastal circular walk has cliff top views and dramatic cliffs with a stairway to heaven, also know as the Hooken Cliffs.
Starting in the small village of Beer the walk will head over the hill to Branscombe and head back to Beer along the cliffs, through the Hooken Cliffs and panoramic views from Beer Head.
It's another hilly walk. 8 to 9 miles on grass, beach and country lanes.
We can even finish in one of the local pubs in the fishing village of Beer for a local brew.
Branscombe is a popular destination for Outdoorlads as we have have enjoyed many camping trips here over the years.
Branscombe is the longest village in England set in a beautiful valley.
