The path in Lulworth led uphill and downhill and showed beautiful impressions of the landscape on the cliffs. You can also go hiking here. On to the next place, which could have been reached on foot if it hadn't been for the mountain 🤪. So jumped into the 🚙 and got out again at the next point....

Intended to include a range walk down to Fossil Forest but Range walks were closed. Seems they open most weekends and weekdays in school holidays.
