Free Portland walk for oldies

Portland walk for oldies

After meeting at Easton Square Garden we will head down to Portland Museum then follow the South West Coastal Path north, from the setting of Thomas Hardy's The Well-Beloved to the once harsh Portland Prison and to see the old coastal defences.

Your guides, Mark Williams and Tony Webb, were both raised on the island and will gently unravel the long history of Portland, from Roman times through its famous Portland Stone, to the present day, and we will point out the abundant wildlife and wild flowers en route.

You will need a day pack with plenty of water, your bus pass (or a way to pay a fare) and to have good training shoes or, better, walking boots. Although the walk is gentle, there are some steeper, rocky sections, so WE CANNOT ACCOMMODATE ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. We strongly recommend using our bus services to get to Portland.
