 Address for Swanage YHA is Cluny, Cluny Crescent, Swanage, Dorset BH19 2BS

 Everyone will be arriving at different times on Friday evening, so it may be easier for everyone to make their own arrangements for the evening meal.  Please be aware that there are options to purchase cooked breakfast and packed lunch at the YHA.  Alternatively, please bring your own food to cover these meals.  A planned evening meal will be arranged for the Saturday night.

 Walk details:

Saturday 20^th July

Lulworth Cove – 10 miles / 5 hours / Moderate to challenging

The Dorset and East Devon coast is England’s first natural world heritage site. This walk is a coastal walk covering one of the most spectacular features on the coastal path, namely Durdledoor, a dramatic natural archway pierced by the sea.  This lies to the west of Lulworth cove along a superb stretch of chalk cliffed coastline.  Remember to bring your cameras, a coastal walk not to be missed!

 Sunday 21^st July

Corfe-Swanage – 6 miles / 4-5 hours / Moderate

We will be catching the steam train from Swanage to Corfe.  This walk follows a fine stretch of the Purbeck ridge which will provide us the opportunity of firstly visiting Corfe Castle to the coast, with a detour to view the famous old Harry rocks and continuing along the coast path to finish at Swanage, a walk taking in a railway, castle and coastline.
