This is a circular trail which goes through Worth Matravers to Winspit Quarry and along the South West Coast Path to Seacombe.

The trail was once used by Smugglers’ who under the cover of darkness would store their smuggled goods in the hidden caves and tunnels. There are spectacular sea cliffs and a secretive cove along the way.

The walk starts from the public car park at Worth Matravers (small charge) and should take about 3 hours at a relaxed pace.

A leaflet showing the route and points of interest is available from the Purbeck Information and Heritage Centre, South Street, Wareham Tel: 01929 552740 or alternatively download it using the link below.
