Jurrasic Coast Hike - Isle of Portland Circular Walk

The Isle of Portland circular is a popular wak, and for good reason.  It is part of the Jurassic Coast and the South West Coastal Path so there are many wonderful views and interesting sights.  At the southern end (Portland Bill) is Portland Lighthouse warning maritime vessels of the rocky peninsula’s existence.  Depending on weather conditions and tides the sea beyond the lighthouse, the infamous Portland Race, can be treacherous for seafarers and is always a concern for sailors passing through it heading in either direction.

Jurassic Coast Hike - Durdle Door to Tyneham Circular

Jurassic Coast Hike - Durdle Door to Tyneham Circular

This route, which makes up part of the South West Coastal Path in Dorset, was a favorite of ours during our Everest Base Camp trek training.  It is a spectacular hike starting and finishing at Durdle Door car park, the iconic landmark near Wareham.  It is not an easy walk, there are several steep ups and downs with a total climb of 3000ft, and total distance of 19k (12 miles).  That said, those who complete it will be rewarded with the most spectacular views across Lulworth Cove, Mupe Bay, and Worbarrow Bay.
