A long weekend on Jurassic Coast - on behalf of a Meetup Group in The Chilterns
Details
I have been contacted by the organiser of Scenic Walks in the Chilterns Meetup Group. He has arranged a long weekend in the Jurassic Coast. They have a few places left for the weekend and he wonders if anyone in Hampshire would be interested in joining them. If you are interested in going I have his contact details. This is the details from his groups’s Meetup page.
Date: 1st – 4th May 2026
Base Location: Swanage, Dorset
Price: £60
Overview: This is a weekend of walking and community in May, based in the Victorian seaside town of Swanage, the county of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast.
This trip features a steam train ride to Corfe Castle to start one of the walks, across stunning panoramic view scenery to reach Lulworth Cove for our ‘middle day’ walk.
The first day’s linear walk is from Worth Matravers, along the coastal path back to Swanage, via Anvil Point Lighthouse, Durlston Head and Peveril Point.
And Monday’s circular walk is from our base in Swanage to Old Harry Rocks, where seals and dolphins are often spotted, then refreshments in Studland before returning to Swanage via an inland cross country path which retains the views over the coast.
You’ll need to arrange your own accommodation for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
