Hidden jewel of the Jurassic Coast: Durlston Country Park, seaside& a SWIM


Details
Let's start the summer with your brand new favourite hike!
Yeeeeeesssssss!
Wanna go to an absolutely stunning place and enjoy some less known and less busy views of the Jurassic Coast with as much beauty as the Durdle Door or the Coast of Ireland?
Yes you do! And this is your trip!
After the success of the trial in May, I have decided to do this again for those who have missed it!
The Jurassic Coast is the Jewel on the crown when it comes to English Coastal beauty and the area which is 95 miles long (150 km) being difficult to access, most people and hikers just go and visit the Old Harry's, Durdle door and Lulworth Cove, about only 20 miles of this very long coastline missing the other 90% WHAT?!
Yes I know, this is a big mistake! There is SO much more to enjoy and the landscapes you will see on this trip will blow your mind!
SO, here are a few details for you to get an idea of the trip.
We will take a train for a couple of hours, (about 2h10) and then a short bus journey(30 minutes) to Swanage cutting our journey time from 5 to 3 hours. From the sightseeing bus, you will be able to admire national beauties along the way. You need to deserve the Jurassic Coast after all, it isn't so easy to just get there!
Once in Swanage, we will start our hike and climb to see the wonders of Dorset, the hike is medium with a few climbs but it is really worth it.
Most of the hike will be on the Southwest Coastal Path and around pretty places such as Anvill Point Lighthouse, Dulston Castle and The Globe with incredible view of a sea that doesn't really make you think UK kind of sea but has more of a Mediterranean kind of vibe.
We will have a break at the Dolphin hut, famous view point for wild dolphins and seals, keep your eyes pealed and you will have views of the colonies of Guillemots, razorbills, both from the penguin family and why not peregrine falcon or ravens, who knows?
We will have a break on the cliff top and will then walk through another path back to Swanage where you can get a take away for the train or have a drink there or Wareham if we have time.
And of course, who says summer and sandy beaches says... SWIMMING! So bring your swim suit!
Guys, the Jurassic Coast is on the other side of the world so it will be a full day out, we should be back at Waterloo by 21:30... and our train tickets are booked for a certain time to save a bit of ££, but British rail...you know... so do not plan an early one in the evening as I will not cut the trip short, I will have a UNO though so be ready for war!
