Nearby Bridport

We stayed fairly close to home today, doing a walk recommended by our host from Poorton to Powerstock in the morning.


The drive, though short was quite something, incredibly narrow and completely treed over in places.


The walk was quite enclosed at the start..


..then opening up to fields along a river..



..and buzzards circling overhead.


The signage for the track, The Ant Trail, changing in case walkers were illiterate.


We hit a bit of a traffic jam at one stage...


..but eventually rounded to mob in open country.


Lunch was in Powerstock...


...at the recommended Three Horseshoes Inn



After lunch we headed to the beach at Burton Bradstock



After a quick swim, we walked along the beach to admire the cliffline..


..before looping back inland, via the "gate with no fence"


For dinner we headed down to West Bay to the Riverside Restaurant..


..leaving just after sunset


And that's our last day in Dorset, tomorrow we head to Swindon for a night before flying back to Paris

  1. Was the water temperature pleasant enough for swimming?
