A hilly 6.4 mile circular walk with some steep climbs and descents that circles around the deserted village of Tyneham.

Parking in the Tyneham NT car park (honesty box), the village itself is well worth a visit, especially for the schoolhouse and church. The manor house used to be a highlight but has now been fenced off due to falling masonry.

The route can be shortened and hills avoided to a certain extent. There's a shorter route to Worbarrow Bay, avoiding the steep climb up above Gad Cliff.

I've detailed the longer route as it has some of the best views. Alternative (free)parking can be found at the viewpoint at the far end of the walk.

There are public toilets at Tyneham village )at the entrance to the old barn, the opposite end of the car park to the village itself). If it's in season, the area is filled with wild garlic.

The ridge up to Whiteway Hill is well worth the effort in return for the stunning views.

This walk is subject to the Lulworth range opening times.
