WE are so lucky to have a breathtaking natural World Heritage site and world-class walking destination on our doorstep.
The Jurassic Coast Trust is organising a series of guided summer walks to encourage Dorset residents and visitors to explore the incredible World Heritage Site and unlock its fascinating history and stories.
The first summer walk kicks off in Beer, East Devon, on Thursday, July 21.
Other walks in the summer series start in West Bay, Abbotsbury, Ringstead and Sidmouth, before concluding with the recently reopened Undercliffs Nature Reserve.
The walks range from three to five hours long and explore a wide variety of terrains.
All walks are led by local Jurassic Coast ambassadors – specially trained volunteers who work with the trust to promote understanding and engagement with the Jurassic Coast.
Guy Kerr, from the Jurassic Coast Trust, said: “The Jurassic Coast is spectacular in summer, making for a fabulous walking experience. It’s so varied – from the stunning cliffs of West Bay to the jungle-like terrain of the Undercliffs. “We’re looking forward to our ambassadors sharing their knowledge of, and passion for the coast with old friends and new.”
n Jurassic Coast Walks, from July 21. £5 per walk with proceeds go the Trust. For more information and to book, visit jurassiccoast.org
