This cycle begins and ends in the free National Trust car park above Ringstead rather than the lower seaside car park.

Mysterious carvings

The views are exhilarating; with Portland silhouetted in the distance one way and the swooping and dipping chalk coastline of the Purbecks in the other.

View from bridleway Portland on the Horizon

The route is easy to follow and the gradients mostly gentle. There are a few short on-road stretches Take care especially on the short busy stretch of the A353.

If you are feeling energetic bring your kayak and see some of the best of the Purbecks from another angle. (see here)
