Itinerary
-
1
Your first stop is Durdle Door, one of the Jurassic Coast’s most iconic landmarks. Rather than taking the usual longer route, we use a hidden pathway that involves very little walking but leads to one of the best viewpoints of the famous limestone arch. It’s a brilliant way to take in the scenery without the long climb.

2Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door
Next, we head to Lulworth Cove, famous for its near-perfect horseshoe shape and beautiful coastal setting. It’s an easy stop to enjoy at your own pace, with the beach just a short walk away. Wander down to the water, explore the village, or simply take a break with a coffee, locally made ice cream or a pint in one of the nearby pubs.

3Corfe Castle
Next, we head inland to Corfe Castle, where the dramatic ruins rise above one of Dorset’s most picturesque villages. With more than 1,000 years of history behind it, the castle has plenty of stories to tell, including its role in the English Civil War. You can admire the castle from outside and spend some time exploring the village below, with its stone cottages, independent shops and traditional cafés. It’s also a great spot to stop for a classic Dorset cream tea.

4Weymouth
Next, we head into Weymouth for some free time and a well-earned lunch break. Wander around the historic harbour, soak up the seaside atmosphere and choose from plenty of local cafés, pubs and restaurants. Fancy keeping it classic? Grab some fish and chips by the harbour, or settle into a traditional pub for lunch and a pint of local ale if the mood takes you.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
5Isle of Portland
Finally, we head across the Isle of Portland, where the landscape changes completely. We’ll stop at the Olympic Rings viewpoint for sweeping views across Chesil Beach, one of the most distinctive stretches of coastline in Dorset. From there, we continue towards Portland Bill, right at the southern tip of the island. If time permits, you’ll also see Portland’s three historic lighthouses, each with its own story and character, before we begin the return journey.
