DescriptionDorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Jurassic Coast Team have pulled together a series of lovely short walks for you to enjoy. All of them start at bus stops along the Jurassic Coaster bus route in West Dorset. Portesham’s chalk stream exposes the wealth of the ancient ridgeway – water and sarsen stones. While the fresh springs of water brought life, Neolithic architects worked the sarsen stones into their culture, creating ritual stone circles and communal burial sites. Start point: Village Hall bus stop or Kings Arms bus stop, Portesham. Distance: 3.8 miles / 6km. Walking Time: 100 mins not including stops. Route Difficulty: Moderate.
