Nigel B: By all means, follow my tracks, but you do so entirely at your own risk.

Purbeck Ridge Part 1: Lulworth Cove to Corfe Castle

The Walk : From Lulworth Cove, this walk is a blend of Range Walks, coastal path and finally the airy Purbeck Ridge to Corfe Castle. The walk is only possible when the MOD Lulworth Ranges are open to the public. There is an optional excursion down to the abandoned village of Tyneham. ( Part 2 continues from Corfe Castle to Old Harry Rocks, making for a complete traverse of the Isle of Purbeck.) Corfe Castle ruins seen from the West Hill viewpoint

Purbeck Ridge Part 2: Corfe Castle to Old Harry Rocks

The Walk : From Corfe Castle, this walk continues along the airy eastern half of the Purbeck Ridge to its ending in the sea stacks of Old Harry Rocks. The walk is a delight, walking on open grass downland with views over Corfe Castle, the blue lagoon of Poole harbour, the green valley leading to the traditional unspoilt seaside resort of Swanage and the chalk cliffs of Ballard Down. Steam trains chuffing along the valley could deceive you into thinking you have passed through a time warp into a simpler world of 1950s Britain. ( Part 1 covers the Western half of the ridge from Lulworth Cove to Corfe castle, making a complete traverse of the Isle of Purbeck.) Running up that Hill

Hastings to Rye via East Hill, Fairlight and the Beach

The Walk : In a previous blog, I described a walk from Hastings to Pett Level via 'The Glens', which requires climbing down into and out of three steep sided valleys. This is tiring and also quite challenging after rain, when the paths become muddy and slippery. The current walk takes a less hilly route around the head of these valleys, and uses the energy saved to complete a walk along the beach from Cliff End (or Pett Level village) to Rye Harbour.
