This spectacular view is something of a hidden gem! The location is a little remote but the view of the Purbeck and south Dorset coast is stunning, especially in good weather.

The banded rock formations, chalk cliffs, bays, headlands, offshore stacks and a steeply undulating path combine to give a panorama that entices and inspires!

The view looks east over Bacon Hole and the Mupe Rocks on to Mupe Bay, Bindon Hill, Rings Hill, Worbarrow Bay, Gold Down and Swyre Head. The latter is 10 km distant but 13 km away on the coast path.

Continuing our theme of quirky things in Dorset – I think this must be Quirky Dorset Part 25 🙂 – we return to the coast, and a very hidden part of the Jurassic Coast too. And we are visiting another part of Dorset with a really adventurous past……..ah, if only rocks could talk! This is the Smugglers’ Cave.
