Walk With a View…
This is a beautiful walk through the Dorset countryside – starting inland in the Domesday village of Symondsbury and heading out to the coast and the spectacular Golden Cap.
It’s a walk that featured in Julia’s series of Britain’s Best Walks with A View for ITV.

Our route takes us across 3 hills – as we head west from Symondsbury we first climb Colmer’s Hill. Continuing onwards we come to North Chideock and then onto Morecombelake where we encounter our second hill – Hardown Hill.
From here we start to head southwards towards the spectacular Jurassic Coast. It’s a sharp climb that takes us up onto Golden Cap. This is the highest point on England’s south coast – and you feel like you’re standing on the edge of the world with the open sea ahead of you.
From here it’s downwards into Seatown where our walk concludes. It’s a great place to grab some fish and chips with a view out across Lyme Bay.
This isn’t a circular walk so you’ll either need to arrange transportation back to where you started or consult your map to get you on to your next destination.
TOG Tip: This isn’t a circular walk so either phone a friend or hitch a ride back to your car!
