Golden Cap, Dorset

Golden Cap

This seven mile walk along the South West Coast Path covers a section of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. It begins at West Bay in Dorset, and ends at the famous fossil beach in Charmouth. There are a couple of steep ascents (including to Golden Cap itself), but rich rewards to gain in the views in both directions along the Jurassic Coast.
