Covering the coast between Exmouth and Bournemouth, the walks are suitable for most walkers, with shorter routes alongside plenty of more challenging, full-day hikes. The walks range in length from 5 to 24km (3–16 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2–8 hours. The majority of the routes hug the shoreline between Torbay and Swanage, while others venture inland on the Dorset Downs. 1:50,000 OS maps are included for each walk GPX files available to download The geology of this World Heritage Coastline is brought to life with timelines and cross-sections Local points of interest include Lulworth Cove and Chesil Beach
