Worth Matravers Dorset
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
The pretty little village of Worth Matravers in Dorset is a wonderful holiday destination for those looking for a peaceful coastal location along the world famous Jurassic Coast.
Worth Matravers is a traditional village centred around the village pond with a historic stone church and stone houses made from local Purbeck limestone. The local public house (Square and Compass) is a centre for village life and local music and poetry.
For those interested in walking there are a number of excellent options from Worth Matravers either along the coastline to Swanage or Kimmeridge or inland towards Corfe Castle and along the Purbeck hills.
The coastline below Worth Matravers is a dramatic seaside location with a number of bays which are popular swimmers and those keen to explore the natural formations and history of smuggling and stone working which occurred nearby.
Some Walks from Worth Matravers
The Priests Way from Worth Matravers to Swanage is a lovely (a fairly direct) route to Swanage and Durlston and is well signposted from Worth Matravers. Follow the Priests Way all the way into the centre of Swanage. From Swanage you can decide how much longer you wish to walk.
Option 1 : Take the bus back to Worth Matravers
Option 2 : Take the steam train to Corfe Castle and then follow the footpath up to Kingston. Here there is a lovely public house (Scott Arms Public House Kingston) to stop for a drink with a view of Corfe Castle before taking the path towards Chapman’s Pool (be careful if you choose to visit the Bay as the path can be slippery) and then back via Hill Bottom and into Worth Matravers.
Option 3 : Go back to Durlston and follow the coastal path back as far as Winspit and then walk inland along the footpath signposted for Worth Matravers.
Once back in Worth Matravers it is worth visiting the Square and Compass to seek refreshment and pass on this walk and your experience of it to those looking for a good route for themselves.
