The Dorset countryside

The Dorset countryside

The Dorset countryside from a path somewhere between Swanage and Corfe Castle. The walk I did was based on the one below but I only walked from Swanage to Corfe Castle. I also recall that when I was walking from Swanage, part of the marked path was closed by a hotel, forcing me to reroute via gps. To be fair to them, the OS map doesn’t show a route through their property. Either way, beware or plan to go around. The reroute didn’t take too long and the walk was still very much worth doing. Just go back to Ulwell Road and follow it up Redcliffe Road. You can then either turn right on Ballard Way and re-join the path on the furthest part of Ballard Estates or just continue up Redcliffe Road (it turns a bit) and then take the footpath north past Whitecliff Farm till you re-join the main path on Ballard Down.
