Day 51: Ferrybridge to Lulworth Cove 14.4 miles (23.2 km) This fantastic section of the South West Coast Path crosses a diverse landscape from the rugged rocks of Portland, to the hustle and bustle of urban life in the seaside resort of Weymouth, followed by quiet rural paths leading to high, undulating chalk cliffs on the way to Lulworth Cove. Walking becomes progressively harder as you leave Weymouth and set off along the impressive cliffs of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. There are some particularly steep ascents and descents on the way to Lulworth Cove, but your efforts are certainly rewarded. As you approach Lulworth there will be breathtaking views of the limestone arch of Durdle Door, the high cliffs of White Nothe and Weymouth Bay and Portland beyond. The chaps must have got a head of steam up today because they were heading for Osmington Mill, which is where Linda Chappell our kind bag carrier for the day was instructed to drop the bags, only to learn that they had streaked on another 6 miles to Lulworth Cove. I think they can smell the finish line! At the end of the walk today 28 miles left to Poole.
