Wool Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Closed to traffic and on a traffic free cycleway section.

Features in Hardye's Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Hardy refers to a tradition that a phantom coach drives up to Woolbridge Manor by night, but can only be seen by members of the Turberville family. The story is thought to be linked to the elopement of John Turberville with Anne, daughter of the 1st Viscount Howard of Bindon, in the 1580s. Anne’s step-brother, Thomas, was the builder of Lulworth Castle.

Might be good for looking at wading birds. Lots of water.

Original bridge collapsed (possible due to carrying tanks from Bovington during WW2 ) but the rebuild was well done by Dorset Council, sympathetic to the original and keeping what they could).

View of Durdle Door

Highlight • Beach

The view down towards the coast from this highpoint on the road is great. Hambury Tout is the hill directly south with a trig point at 134m. Lulworth Cove is to your left (looking out to sea) below West Lulworth village. To your right is Durdle Door and the Man o' War cove (images of these in the highlights) you can get down to them by turning into the car park (entrance about 100m west) and pushing the bike for a short distance.

View from Povington Hill

Highlight • Natural Monument

View of Kimmeridge Bay from Grange Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view from the road or car park at the top of Grange Hill. You are at about 173m on the Purbeck Hills so there is nothing higher than you to the south and you have great views over Kimmerage Bay and out to sea.

Grange Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Really steep hill. Nice climb and well worth it. However do check that the firing range doesn't mean that the road is closed, or else you'll be going back down straight away!
