Share wonderful views of Lyme Bay & the Isle of Portland from two ridges; one to the North and the other to the East of Abbotsbury. Our route includes the Hardy Monument, a geological information site, and joins the SW Coast Path; cafe afterwards. 11 miles, 3 significant climbs,  ‘Medium’ difficulty.

Lovely nine mile Sunday walk with Nigel at Monksilver on the eastern flank of the Brendon Hills and bordering Exmoor national park.

Walk leader needed - can you help please?

A 12-mile walk starting near Simonsbath, then down the upper Exe valley and back via Larkbarrow and Lanacombe.  Moderate - there are a few short steep climbs and descents, but overall only 350m/1150' of ascent.  One (inhabited) house on the whole route.  Refreshments at Exford afterwards. 

Pymore village on the outskirts of Bridport and the Brit Valley inland.  Circular walk of approx 10 miles - river valleys and rolling hills.

Maiden Castle and Hardys Monument 

After walking around the Maiden Castle ramparts we will then head along a ridge with costal views to Hardys Monument.  We will return via the pub at Martinstown.  Maiden Castle is situated at Dorchester.
