West
Bay to Eype & Seatown (Westbound)
West Bay to Eype is a
relatively easy 25 minutes walk with a distance of less
than a mile. The gradients of hills
and obstacles involved should be relatively easy for even the
inexperienced walker, the reward being superb Lyme Bay coastal
and inland views.
The walk from Eype to Seatown is
approximately 2 miles and is more strenuous. A
steep climb over Thorncombe Beacon is involved, though
the views are excellent. A pub next to the beach
at Seatown (The Anchor) makes a refreshing stop.
The coastal path westbound then moves
on to the highest point along the south coast...Golden
Cap, then on towards Charmouth.

West
Bay to Freshwater, Burton Bradstock, West
Bexington & Abbotsbury (Eastbound)
West Bay to Freshwater and Burton Bradstock is
a relatively easy half hour walk with a distance of
approximately three quarters of a mile. However,
the initial climb to the top of east cliff is quite
steep, though short.
Continuing further, a similar walk
will be encountered over the next cliff to Hive Beach and on to West
Bexington. From here the official path goes
inland, but you can choose to take the Chesil Beach
route on to Abbotsbury.
