View of Warbarrow Bay and Tyneham Valley from Rings Hill

This spectacular and unspoilt coastal scene on the South West Coast Path is a favourite! The view looks southeast and is taken on the descent from the towering Rings Hill (165 m, 541 ft).The vista shows the pretty Warbarrow Bay, Warbarrow Tout (the limestone hill that protrudes into the sea on the southern edge of Warbarrow Bay), the peaceful green Tyneham Valley that meets the sea at Warbarrow Bay, and Gold Down (the grass ridge to the south of Tyneham Valley). This area is seldom busy and yet rivals the nearby Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door for quality of scenery.Be careful on the descent from Rings Hill as the path is steeper than it looks! If you are climbing Rings Hill from Warbarrow Bay the effort is definitely worth it.

This will give you a really good leg workout, and get your lungs pumping. regardless of what side you are attacking it from. But the views are definitely worth it.

Beautiful landscape, perfect for lovely, nature-based hikes.
