WALKS IN DORSET at SEATOWN & EYPE MOUTH (4K)

In this episode of my series “ Walks in Dorset”, I take a 4 mile circular walk from Seatown (on the Jurassic Coast) to Lower Eype and back. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.

I park my car at a car park in Seatown (cost £6 for the day) and have a quick look around the village – basically The Anchor Inn and a few houses as well as a beach (which does not allow dogs between 1st May & 30th September).

My walk starts with an uphill section along the South West Coast Path towards Doghouse Hill & then Thorncombe Beacon where I get to enjoy some stunning views both out to sea & inland.

I drop down to Eype Mouth and have a wander along the beach (which allows dogs all year round) before having an exploration through the prety village of Lower Eype.

After visiting St Peters church on the brow of a hill (sadly it is not open), I head Westwards uphill and across meadows to Down House Farm and then back to the South West Coast path at Thorncombe Beacon for my return journey.

My final destination is the Anchor Inn at Seatown.

XXX NB: The cliffs along this stretch of the Jurassic Coast are unstable - indeed there have been cliff collapses recently. So it is important to ensure that you do not walk too closely to the edge of the cliffs and keep to the public footpaths.
