Enjoy Walking? Dorset Jurassic Coast walk part 1 - West Bay to Lyme Regis offers spectacular views


Dorset Jurassic Coastal - West Bay to Lyme Regis

This walk has stunning scenery and views in all directions, its not easy in places so allow plenty of time,

It took us around 5 and half hours, but we did stop several times for lunch, drinks and of course to enjoy the views. be sure to sample the nice pubs and cafes along the route nestled in Seatown and Charmouth

(We are both in our 40's with an average fitness level at the time)

Start planning your trip sooner rather than later as the coast is gradually slipping away.

I managed to pick up a tick in the long grass so take precautions, I am guessing this was in the long grass near the Lyme Regis section which you can avoid if you prefer.

My friend covered himself in insect repellent and sun tan lotion which was the smart move.

The walk starts at the end of Westbay Seafront, as pictured below, its very visible and easy to follow.

If you use the Windy Corner Cafe postcode DT6 4GZ, this takes you right to the beginning of the Seafront.


Highlights

- Eype

- Seatown

- Goldencap

- Charmouth

- Lyme Regis

Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument, the best start to our Scottish Castle Tour

STIRLING CASTLE AND THE WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT First stop on our Scottish 4 day Castle Tour (by car) Stirling Castle seemed familiar to me, mainly, because it reminded me of Edinburgh Castle, a very impressive position perched atop its intrusive crag, well preserved also, we really enjoyed our visit with lots of different areas to see and explore. The views are stunning and stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions, the location of the castle was no accident. You can see Bridgehaugh, right next to Stirling Old Bridge which was the site of the battle of Stirling Bridge where in 1297 William Wallace defeated an English army.  With its place in history, we had to visit on our trip. Whilst in Stirling, we ignorantly stumbled across the William Wallace Monument, due to its unique shape, design and significance we found it to be another highlight of the trip. It’s a must, it’s quite daunting when you climb to the top and realise how high up you are. The views are very impress...

Tregenna Castle Hotel in one of Cornwall's best - St Ives England

Tregenna Castle and St Ives Work trip - 1 night  It’s been a few years, but it was good to be back staying at Tregenna, enjoying the stunning views, comfy furnishings and good food. Peaceful and relaxing, being out of season. The pool was very warm which is always good. I actually stayed in room 1, out of 130 and I think that it maybe on the more budget end of the accommodation options. Comfy and adequate just a little basic. I do remember the rooms we stayed in previously being more luxurious. Don’t let this put you off though as the rest of the hotel is lovely. ( just have to pay a little more to upgrade the room) It’s a 10-15 minute walk into St Ives through the lovely garden and grounds. If you arent going to eat at the hotel, I advise booking somewhere in St Ives in advance as its gets very busy and spaces can become limited. Tregenna has a golf course, Spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pool. The walk around the hotel is very nice, scenic and tranquil. Tregenna is around a 3...
