This moderate jogging loop from Burton Bradstock offers dramatic coastal views along the Jurassic Coast. Covering 4.4 miles (7.0 km) with an elevation gain of 194 feet (59 metres), you can expect to complete it in about 47 minutes. You will run past the iconic golden cliffs of Bridport Sands sandstone, particularly around West Bay, and enjoy far-reaching vistas across the Devon coastline from the clifftops. The terrain is diverse, featuring mostly paved surfaces but also uneven sections and some steep ascents and descents, so sturdy footwear is a good idea.
While generally suitable for all skill levels, the route's ascents and descents contribute to its moderate rating for jogging. You will find waymarkers guiding you through a section that passes a golf course. The trail is accessible year-round, but be prepared for potentially muddy conditions after rain. Both Burton Bradstock and West Bay offer amenities and places to get refreshments, making them convenient starting or finishing points for your run.
What makes this route special is its location on the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, known for its unique geological history and spectacular sea views. The golden cliffs at West Bay are particularly famous, having even appeared on television. The area also holds historical significance, including its role in D-Day preparations. This trail provides a great opportunity to explore the charming village of Burton Bradstock and the lively harbor of West Bay.
