WALKS IN DORSET at OSMINGTON MILLS & OSMINGTON (4K)

In this episode of my series “ Walks in Dorset”, I take a 4.5 mile circular walk from Osmington Mills (on the Jurassic Coast) to Redcliff Point & up to Osmington. Once again I am accompanied by my Whippet, Logan.

I park my car in a (free) lay by in the road leading up to the “pay & display” car park at The Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills and start my walk heading Westwards along the South West Coast Path.

After passing “Goggin's Barrow” & an Adventure centre, I drop down on to the beach to the East of Redcliff Point – where there is an old WW2 Pillbox to explore!

Back on the South West Coast Path – and just before Redcliff Point, I head inland and in a North Easterly direction – uphill – towards the village of Osmington.

Coming in to Osmington I get a great view of the White Horse carved into the side of a hill to the North.

After a wander around the pretty village and a quick look at the church (inside & out), I head South again, picking up the South west Coast Path back to Osmington Mills and my final destination – The Smugglers Inn.

NB: I should have removed my cap when I was in the church - please accept my apologies for the oversight.
