Spyway

About

Towering sea cliffs and grasslands rich in wild flowers.

A distinctive limestone landscape on the South Coast where sea birds soar and rare orchids hide among rich grasslands. Centuries of stone quarrying have left their mark in the form of sea quarries like Dancing Ledge. School boys from the local prep school used to come down to the Ledge to swim in the old seawater swimming pool which was blasted from the rock in the 20th century. Please note access onto the Ledge is very difficult and may not be safe. You can read more about access and making the most of your day out on the National Trust website.

Footpaths and bridleways criss-cross farmland marked out with traditional dry stone walls.

The South West Coast Path affords spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site as far as Portland.
