The coast path between West Bay and Burton Bradstock is currently closed due to a landslip. A diversion is in place using the public footpath across Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club. Please see the South West Coast Path website for further info and a map of the diversion.

Hiking

The crumbling sandstone cliffs at West Bay reveal geology that is 175 million years old. These immense cliffs are awe-inspiring to gaze at from the beach and afford wonderful views when you climb to the top.

Very impressive cliffs that have become famous through the crime series "Broadchurch".
