Hike the South West Coast Path on a lodge holiday in Dorset

The longest waymarked footpath in England, the 630-mile South West Coast Path, runs from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall before reaching Poole Harbour in Dorset. The section within South Dorset is well worth a visit and includes a stunning variety of coastal scenery, making it the most photographed part of the path. Taking you through the popular resorts of Swanage, Weymouth and Lyme Regis, the walk passes some of Dorset's most famous landmarks including the flat sands at Studland, Old Harry Rocks, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. It's no wonder this section of the path has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Book one of our Weymouth lodges and holiday parks and benefit from having this incredible walking trail right on your doorstep.
