Weymouth to Lulworth Cove Walk
This scenic walk follows the renowned South West Coast Path as it winds from the seaside town of Weymouth to the famous natural harbour at Lulworth Cove. Covering approximately 11.5 miles, the route offers a mix of clifftop paths, coastal views, and historical landmarks along the way.
As you head east from Weymouth, the route takes you through the countryside near the village of Osmington. Here, you can visit the striking Osmington White Horse, a large chalk figure carved into the hillside depicting King George III on horseback. The nearby village of Osmington is well worth a visit, with its charming thatched cottages dating back to the 16th century and a parish church that has stood since the 12th century, providing a glimpse into the area's rich past.
Further along the walk, you will pass Ringstead Bay, a peaceful and less crowded stretch of coastline where you can enjoy panoramic sea views and the surrounding chalk cliffs. This section of the coast is quieter and provides a good opportunity for a rest or a picnic before continuing towards one of the highlights of the walk.
A short distance beyond Ringstead, you will arrive at Durdle Door, one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks. This impressive natural limestone arch rises out of the sea, creating a dramatic coastal scene. The surrounding area includes a shingle beach and small sea caves, making it a popular spot for visitors and photographers alike.
The final part of the walk leads you east to Lulworth Cove, a beautiful, near-circular bay formed over thousands of years by the combined action of the sea and river erosion. Lulworth Cove is famous for its unique geology and calm waters. Before finishing the walk, you can explore the West Lulworth Heritage Centre, located close to the cove. The centre provides interesting displays about the history, geology, and coastal features of the local area.
