Local Dog Walks

Langdon Hill / Woods
A Great Circular Walk With Some Gentle Inclines And Stunning Views. Generally A Mud-Free(Ish) Walk. Also Gateway To The Highest Point On The South Coast - Golden Cap. A Definite 'Must Walk' As It Is Breathtaking Up There. Keep Dogs On Leads At The Top Of The Cliff As There Have Been A Few Canine Deaths Where The Dog Has Chased A Seagull Over The Edge. :( Langdon Ln Lancashire 7.48 miles From Bridport Head Up The A35 Towards Lyme Regis. As Soon As You Leave Village Of Chideock You Start To Climb Hill (Dual Carriageway Section). Stay In Left Hand Lane When You Reach The Top, Turn Left Before The Layby. Left Again And Along Badly Maintained Lane. At The End (A Few Hundred Yards) Turn Right And That Leads Straight Into The Car Park. Watch The Speed Humps They Are Vicious!
