Kimmeridge Ledges 
8th July 2021 5.7 miles Map of walk
A lovely walk with great views of the coast and inland. The steep walk uphill was worth it.
We started at Kimmeridge Bay, walked up to the village and onto the ridge, along the top to a Bronze age burial mound, then steeply down to the coast and along the cliffs back to the bay.

The date stone on the porch says 1818
View from the ridge to Poole Harbour and we could see Corfe Castle (in the mist)

Tumulus at Swyre Head
The ridge at the back is where we walked
The Clavell Tower has been moved away from the cliff edge, which was getting near it
