WALKS IN DORSET at PORTLAND BILL. (THE JURASSIC COAST) (4K)

This is another video in my series “ Walks in Dorset” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I take a walk in and around Portland Bill – the Southernmost point in Dorset, located 16 miles of Dorchester.

After parking my car at the car park near the lighthouse, I start my 3.5 mile circular route from the Obelisk which is located on the tip of the Bill. I then head West past Pulpit Rock and the MOD Magnetic Range – keeping to the South West Coastal Path – before turning North past the National Coastwatch Lookout and the old “Higher” lighthouse (now a holiday let).

Shortly after admiring the views over to Chesil beach in the West, I head across the Bill to the Eastern side to start my Southerly walk through the old quarries with great views of the sea. I get to explore Cave Hole before passing the old “Lower” Lighthouse (now a bird observatory), the Red crane and the old tramway.

I end up at the Lobster Pot Cafe (one of the top 25 most charming seaside cafes in the UK ….. according to the Daily Telegraph in 2015) for sausage & chips.

The weather was perfect for my walk – a sunny, bright Spring day.
