マッパートンの天然記念物・トップ12

Pilsdon Pen山頂の三角測量地点からは、ドーセットの壮大で広々とした景色が楽しめます。南を見ると、目はMarshwood Valeの緑豊かな農地と起伏のある丘を滑り、Bridportとジュラ紀海岸のドラマチックな崖までずっと広がっています。

West BayとBurton Bradstock間の海岸沿いの道は、地滑りのため現在閉鎖されています。Bridport and West Dorset Golf Clubを横切る公道を利用する迂回路が設けられています。迂回路の詳細と地図については、South West Coast Pathのウェブサイトをご覧ください。

As far as I am aware, the West Bay coastal path is closed due to many landslip and the path disappearing into the bay.

The cliff top is closed due to massive erosion and possible land slips. There is a diversion which leads through the golf course.

A lot of coastal erosion at this area as of late, and sections of cliffs, above and below are now off limits to members of the public to due safety reasons. West bay and the cliffs are the locations used for the ITV drama Broadchurch. Fascinating looking around the the little fishing village and seeing the locations used in person.

Have come across a few of these beacons on my travels down south. They were part of a network of beacons to be lit in case of an attack from the Spaniards in the 15th century.

The summit of this hill represents the second highest point in Dorset, and from here, you'll have breathtaking panoramic views. At the top, there was an Iron Age hillfort, which was excavated in the mid-20th century.

Beautiful walk along cliff top or beach, land slides can happen…
