Walk from Worth Matravers to Kimmeridge via coastal path returning inland via Swyre Head and Kinston. One of the best walks.

Starting from Weston Dairy Campsite, Worth Matravers, Dorset.

Difficult way down to Chapman's Pool beach and difficult climb up to Houns Tout (stunning views). Difficult descent along coastal path, and a few more ups and downs eventually becoming easier towards Kimmeridge Bay. From Kimmeridge Bay road waking to Kimmeridge village, taking footpath from bar/restaurant across country/roads/paths... easy walking until very difficult (hard to find, poorly marked and maintained pathway, no access through encombe estate so ignore our little excursion) climb up to top of Swyre Head (stunning views all round) Follow path pass encombe estate and road to Kingston.
Taking a right turn before Scotts Arms towards Chapman's Pool. Some farm fields and poorly signed footpaths led eventually back to campsite and then Square and Compass Pub for well earned food and few beers/ciders.
