South Dorset Ridgeway

Walking Route

None

Part of the South West Coast Path National Trail, the South Dorset Ridgeway passes through the ceremonial landscape of the South Dorset. You will be following in the footsteps of the people who lived here over 5,000 years ago. With the exception of one or two short sections the route affords superb coastal views virtually along its entirety.
