We walked up to Golden Cap from Seatown, it’s about a mile up from the car park in Seatown. A fair climb, but this is the highest point on the south coast! We carried on past Golden Cap and turned right towards St Gabriel’s Wood, and right again back round past Langdon Hill where we did a circuit of the wood and then back down to Seatown. The entire walk was 4.5 miles and took us 1 hour 45 minutes.

Hogchester is a beautiful 60 acre site in the Dorset countryside. The rolling hills, meadows, streams and small woodland areas are a haven for wildlife. Some of the fields are undergoing wildflower meadow restoration and conservation work takes place across all areas of the site. Please visit the website for details of open days and events or to enquire about renting the onsite holiday cottage.

We had been looking forward to staying here for so long - and it did not disappoint. The cottage was stylish and spotless, with fabulous comfy beds, and lots of games, toys, books and dvds for the whole family. The family are perfect hosts. It's a spectacular setting, and we spent the majority of each day on the farm, walking in the fields, meeting the animals, adventuring, and generally relaxing. Listening to the owls set off on their hunts at night as the last light disappeared over the sea in the distance ended each day perfectly. Lyme and Charmouth are only 5 minutes away, so there's loads to do on the doorstep - if you can be persuaded to leave the farm!

This was a wonderful find, with the bonus of National Trust Members being able to park for free!! The car park is large and is one both sides of the road. The walk to the beach is a short gentle slope. The shingle is fine and therefore not too difficult for us 50+ people. There is a small, and very informative, National Trust Shop (where you can also join up to become a member), as well as a very busy café overlooking the bay. There are miles to walk along the Jurassic coast and warnings not to sit under overhanging cliffs. We walked up the green hill to the east arriving at a small Pill Box - quite a steep walk should you have breathing difficulties, but manageable with stops. Would certainly recommend for families and people of all ages, maybe take a picnic to avoid the café queues. The toilets were slightly disappointing in that they were smelly and without toilet paper on this particular occasion, but we would certainly want to return to this beach.

5. Charmouth Beach

Stayed in Charmouth last week and visited the beach every day, sometimes twice a day. Great mix of sand, shingle and rock it's great for rock pooling, fossil hunting or just sunning yourself if the weathers good. Parking is plentiful and not too expensive. Does get busy at times though. Easy walk along the beach to Lyme Regis if you fancy it (Tide Times are displayed in several places) or an invigorating hike up the hill towards Weymouth gives fantastic views of the surrounding area. Couple of little shops and a Heritage Centre. When the tide is low you can venture quite far out for ideal fossil hunting and rock pooling.
