West Bay · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the West Bay walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
A 4.6-mile circuit west from the harbour over Eype Mouth to the beacon at 157 metres, roughly two and a half hours with 260 metres of sharp up and down on turf. The return is by field paths and a quiet lane through Eype village rather than retracing the cliff. Park in the main West Bay pay and display beside the harbour, which is large but the busiest car park in west Dorset on a hot day; the clifftop is entirely unfenced with vertical sandstone drops, sheep graze the Eype Down fields, and dogs can only get to the sea at West Bay east beach outside the summer restriction.
