Immediately east of Burton Beach, the clifftop makes for a fantastic place to stroll, particularly in clear weather. The views from these large cliffs are excellent and you can see considerable distances around Lyme Bay.

Stay away from the cliff edges as they are slowly eroding.

Running

At the end of the beach, this stretch of cliff between Burton Bradstock and West Bay begins, and it's a pleasure to run along while taking in the incredible views and feeling the breeze on your face.
Be careful not to get too close to the edges as it can be dangerous.

Hiking

Still accessible, but it's forever eroding, making it unstable near the cliffs edge.
