This is the first day of the Dorset County Line Walk with Dr Helena Conibear - High Sherrif of Dorset.

Walk begins at Charmouth Coast Watch. We will leave at 10.30 am but please do arrive from 9.30 and learn about the coast guard and Coastwatch and the work they do.
We will walk 8.5 miles to West Bay. We will stop for lunch for an hour and so expect to arrive at the Discovery Centre at West Bay at 3.30 pm – 4pm

We plan to stop for lunch at The Anchor at Seatown, ( guests or supporters can join us) or do bring a picnic (as well as plenty of water, a hat and suncream ).This also means if you feel happier walking for a shorter distance, you can join – or leave at this point.

General Notes

Refreshments at Seatown, Eype, West Bay Please note this is not a Dorset group social walk so participation is at your own risk
