Another lovely Lulworth Cove weekend
with Barbara staying at the Cromwell House Hotel 200m from the sea. There can
be an extra walk on Friday afternoon if you arrive by 1pm.
Fuller detail
This weekend break is
based on the beautiful Dorset coast, staying at the very comfortable Cromwell
House Hotel in Lulworth Cove to walk the striking coastal paths nearby. On the
Saturday we can take the path from the village heading to Durdle Door for a
wonderful walk along the cliffs, maybe descending to the beach at Durdle Door
if we feel energetic. On Sunday we could either walk in the other direction
from the Cove along another lovely stretch of coast path, or do a walk along
Purbeck ridge which would give us extensive views across both the coast and the
Dorset heathlands, finishing with a spectacular view of the Corfe Castle ruins.
(These coastal walks are all well within the Low Intermediate grade, but may
involve more 'up' and 'down' than some other low intermediate destinations!) If
you can arrive by 1pm on Friday, there can be another shorter walk inland from
Lulworth Cove in the afternoon. Lulworth Cove lies between Swanage and
Weymouth, and is a short taxi ride from Wool station on the Waterloo to
Weymouth line. Cromwell House is a comfortable 2 star hotel 200m from the sea
front with ensuite twin and single rooms (Ensuite single supplement £10 a
night).

Low Intermediate grade explained...
Low Intermediate
- 8 miles, average 350m up/down
Low Intermediate walks are
lovely walks of up to 8 miles that don't go much higher than gentle walks: to a
maximum ascent of 450m (or 1500ft) and often less than this. The paths may be
rockier in places than on gentle walks, and steeper for short distances. The
pace will tend to be a little steadier as we've further to go, but still with
plenty of stops along the way. You may be walking up a striking gorge in
Slovenia, exploring the length of a Lake District valley, or getting away from
it all in Northumberland. This grade is perfect if you love longer low walks /
or if you're new to walking but already do some other form of exercise fairly
regularly e.g. bike rides or aerobics.
