South West Coast Path

Walking the South West Coast Path: From Shell Bay to Dancing Ledge

Various pictures at points along the SWCP, on the walk from Dancing Ledge to Swanage.

This week's blog post is on my shenanigans walking the South West Coast Path again, in particular covering the two days we did walking from Shell Bay to Swanage, then from Dancing Ledge to Swanage.

Whilst it has been a bit of a while since I walked these, I thought I'd take the time to post a bit about the coast path around the Swanage area, at the start point, which is just west of the chain link ferry that takes you across the mouth of the Poole harbour, to Dancing Ledge which is an amazing part of the world. The videos can be found below, or click for day 1 and day 2 on YouTube, respectively.

South West Coast Path: Pentireglaze Mines to Watergate Bay

This video series comes from my January trip with Dad to Cornwall to smash out yet another bit of the coast path. I didn't post the earlier ones here, mainly because I didn't yet have a functional blog, but they are available on the YouTube playlist.

Here's the latest one, where we walk from Watergate Bay to Porthcothan:

Why Here?

We picked this bit of the coast path to do based on Dad's research as to the more flat bits, as at the time, he was having issues with his foot and wanted to take it easy.
