Purbeck 10 Leisure Walks of Discovery Guidebook

by: Rodney Legg
The Isle of Purbeck is England in microcosm. Geology which has thrown together several very different landscapes in the space of 70 square miles makes for fascinating and varied walking, and the warm micro-climate makes it very pleasant. The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site and boasts classic landform features ranging from Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove to Old Harry Rocks and Studland's sands.
All of the walks in this guide are circular and begin at a car park or safe parking location with the grid reference provided. The walks, between 4 and 11 miles long, are graded from easy to more challenging. The walks are ideal for families or groups of friends looking for an afternoon in glorious historic countryside or a more leisurely walk with a pub stop for lunch. Distance and a short description of the terrain are also provided.

Clear route directions are provided together with simple sketch maps. One of the features that make the 'Boot Up' series of guides so attractive is the emphasis on good landscape photography and the book is well illustrated throughout with colour photographs. The handy size also means it will slip easily into your pocket, protected by the tough cover.

Turners Puddle and Moreton
Corfe Castle and Chapman's Pool
East Chaldon and Durdle Door
Lulworth Cove and Mupe Bay
