Tyneham and Worbarrow bay, Dorset

Tyneham and Worbarrow bay for a beautiful 3.5 mile walk with two steep climbs and a steep descent. The beach is just lovely there, the views are far reaching and perfect and the Tyneham project is quite remarkable. The walk starts in the village. There is a huge car park (only £2 donation to the project). Walk up through the abandoned village, past the church to find a path marked by yellow post up the hill through the ranges. It reaches the top and turns left to continue along the top of the ridge. At Flower's barrow turn left and go down the steep path to the beach. Amazing views throughout the walk. At the beach you have a choice. We spilt up here with Martin taking the route through the valley back to the farm while I continued up the Gold Down for wonderful views towards Kimmeridge. The path heads down again once it reaches a gate and follows the yellow markers back to the farm. The farm has been beautifully restored and there are lots of super picnic spots both in the gardens here and throughout the walk. (There is also a free car park at the top of the ridge, but the project is amazing and worth the donation). If you prefer a short walk you can just walk down to the beach, no more than 2 miles return and enjoy the project. Great place for children.
