Dorset Coastpath

Over the past five years I have been walking various sections of the Dorset Coastpath. My goal being to cover the entire length of the footpath. The final section was completed in November 2009.
The total length of the path is about 84 miles for the longer route which includes the Isle of Portland.

The interactive map below can be used to jump to a section of the walk and then using the map of the section you can jump to each leg of the route and see my photographs. Alternatively you can click on a section of the route in the table below to jump to the pictures.
