If you plan ahead, or if you are lucky, you can walk along the beach around Orcombe point when it is low tide. And from down here you are given a different perspective of the red cliffs of the jurrasic coast. The red sandstone cliif tower above you and boulders lay strewn across the beach from landslides in decades gone by. Continue walking the beach, being wedged between the sea and cliffs, but with plenty of space not to scare you, until you reach the slope up to Sandy bay park. Lots of refreshments await you, and the firework sound of gun fire, on a day when the troops test their rifles.

Great view, day or night. Be aware that the path up has seen better days and is really, really steep. I went down on my bum as I was on my own at night. Beautiful area, great connecting train line for easy forget-the-car holidays and seightseeing. Take a torch for evening/low light walks.

Orcombe Point is the western end of the Jurassic Coast. It's marked by the Geoneedle, a limestone obelisk that represents the different layers of limestone that form the world heritage coastline. There is an explanation of the different layers and the fossil record that you are likely to encounter on the way east. Running along the south-west coast path here is great, the trail is easy to follow and undulating. The hills are sometimes steep but never too long. It does get slippery when wet!
