Lyme Regis

Start the day with a walk from Seaton to Lyme Regis, in Dorset. This picturesque seaside town is home to the famous 13th century Cobb harbour, where you can sit an watch the boats from one of the tempting tearooms. Lyme Regis was also the setting for the film 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', from the book by resident author John Fowles.

Must see and do:

Golden Cap

The next unmissable landmark you'll come across on your walk is Golden Cap. At 191 metres high, Golden Cap is the highest point on the Jurassic Coast and the highest sea cliff in southern England. It's surrounded by over 2,000 acres of National Trust Golden Cap Estate, which is perfect for exploring the unique and unspoilt West Dorset countryside.

Must see and do:

Chesil Beach (West Bay)

Past the small harbour town of West Bay lies the 17-mile stretch of Chesil Beach running all the way to Portland. Chesil Beach (www.worldheritagecoast.net/place.aspx?place=6) is one of the finest pebble banks in the world and one of south England's most visited landmarks. Don't miss the Fleet Lagoon, a tidal lagoon that's home to a variety of wildlife.

Must see and do:

Abbotsbury

On the western end of the Fleet lagoon is the picturesque village of Abbotsbury (www.abbotsbury.co.uk/). While you're there, visit the renowned 14th century Abbotsbury Swannery, and the award-winning Sub-Tropical Gardens, set in 20 acres of woodland valley. Enjoy the stunning views of the village from Abbotsbury Hill, but be warned, it's a steep climb by foot!
