Steps Between Seatown and Golden Cap

Highlight • Trail

There's steps.... like a lot of them!!!! good old leg burning steps!!!

Golden Cap Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Golden Cap is the best place on the ride to experience the expansive sea views. It should be, as it is the highest point along England's south coast. What's more, there is bridleway right past it, so you can peddle right to the south coast's summit, and gaze down at the churning sea, 191 metres below you!

Thorncombe Beacon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Thorncombe Beacon once formed part of a chain of beacon sites along the South Coast to warn of the approach of the Spanish Armada in 1588. These days, you can still enjoy wonderful coastal views from this great vantage point.

View over Seatown and Eype Beach

Highlight • Beach

Coming down the path from Ridge Cliff, you have stunning views down onto the quaint seaside hamlet of Seatown, Eype Beach, and over towards the craggy headland of Shorne Cliff. The path here also forms part of the South West Coast Path, so it is well kept and waymarked.
