Walking Breaks

There are 300 miles of coast and countryside footpaths in West Dorset, ranging from the 11-mile Brit Valley Way to a stretch of the South West Coast Path (Britain's longest national trail).

From West Bay, just a mile from Bridport, the path follows the undulating Jurassic coastline to Charmouth and Lyme Regis to the west, and to Abbotsbury and Chesil Beach to the east.

The Bull's tailor-made Walk Dorset breaks include maps, packed lunches and drop-off-collect service at the start and finish of the route. For a completely car-free trip,  a pre-booked taxi service can be arranged between the hotel and local mainline stations at Dorchester, Crewkerne and Axminster.
