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

185 Million Years of Earth's History: The 95-mile stretch of coastline, from Orcombe Point in Exmouth to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, exposes a continuous sequence of rocks spanning the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods of the Mesozoic Era. This makes it the only place on Earth where such a vast and sequential record of geological time is easily accessible.

This early Iron Age hillfort, taken over by the Romans when they invaded, has double and triple ramparts. The parallel double ramparts on the east and west flanks are connected along the northern border and are unmistakably visible. Because the cliff face acted as defence, it is probable that there were never ramparts along the southern end. Hut circles are visible within the interior of the fort. During a minor excavation in 1939 fragments of Iron Age pottery, as well as sling-stones and bones were found in a pit near the western entrance. Subsequent landslides have revealed the floor of the hillfort. The continual ground disturbances at the southern fringe increase the possibility of further archaeological finds. However, the twin hazards of the cliff erosion and the possibility of unexploded military shells from the Lulworth Ranges command extreme caution.

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.

Worbarrow Bay is a large broad and shallow bay just to the east of Lulworth Cove. The residents of Worbarrow were required to leave their homes in 1943, including the Miller family who had lived at Worbarrow for many generations. Little evidence now remains of the eight cottages and coastguard station (disbanded in 1910) that once stood close to the bay. The area is only accessible when the ranges are closed.

Named after the dramatic castle ruins that sit on the high above the village, Corfe Castle is a delight to explore. Built strategically at a gap in the Purbeck Ridge, the castle dates back to the 10th century and is today owned by the National Trust. The village is built from characteristic grey Purbeck limestone and boasts a wealth of places to eat and drink, as well as many accommodation options. The walking in the region is superb, with the heaths, hills and, of course, the excellent coast path.

This bridge was once on the main road to Church Knowle from Corfe Castle. Built in the 1800s, today Copper Bridge is a pretty sight not far from Corfe Common. To the side of the bridge is a ford, constructed to allow animals to cross the Corfe River.
