Please excuse the mess in Swanage, it confused my GPS that I went into shops. A nice easy walk through town to Peveril Points, up the Downs and through Durlston Village to Durlston Country Park.

Lovely walk along part of South West Coast Path. A tough section where you climb from shore to cliff tops but nice and easy afterwards. Last couple of miles along a great beach (be prepared to see naturists).
