Get behind the cliches of clotted cream and Cornish Pasties and discover a magical world of history and beauty. Breathtaking clifftop walks, rugged open country and some of the finest coastline in Britain. Mind you, make sure you do get a pastie, oh, and a scone with jam and clotted cream! (Glass of cider anyone?!)

A great walk down through fields to the Jurassic coast. The route takes you to a stunning cliff quarry and the fantastic coastal views make this a great spot for a picnic. This walk is graded as hard as there are some steep rocky paths and two stiles. |
