Kimmeridge Circular via Swyre Head and Clavell's Tower

Slightly foggy at times on the coast but a great walk last Sunday.

We set off from the quarry car park above Kimmeridge village and took a clockwise route up onto the Ridgeway, through Heaven's Gate to Swyre Head, the highest point on the Purbeck Hills. The views were great to both the north, east and west.

We descended down to Rope Lake Head and turned right along the Coast Path to the new Clavell's Tower which looked majestic.

Dropping down to Kimmeridge Bay, we walked past the many divers who were there for the day, across the grassy area to the right odf the cottages, turned right and followed the path back up into Kimmeridge village.

We had an excellent lunch at the newly re-furbished Clavell's Cafe and Shop and then walked up the path behind the church to the car park.

A great walk!
