Walk 1 - Tulk's Hill, Abbotsbury
Take the coast road from Weymouth towards Bridport and after driving up the
hill out of Abbotsbury take the first turning on your right signposted Ashley
Chase. As you crest the hill there is sufficient space to park three or four
vehicles on your left, park here and cross the road to a gate. The walk continues
along the ridge of the hill for approximately one mile to a second gate (there
are some wonderful views over Chesil Beach to Portland). After the second
gate the walk branches, take the right hand fork and follow the track for
half a mile down the hill into Abbotsbury village. This is a good oportunity
to partake of a little refreshment at one of the hostelries or tea rooms in
the village before retracing your steps back to your vehicle for the journey
home. The whole walk is aproximately three miles. It is not necessary to negotiate
the hill if you curtail your walk shortly after the second gate in which case
the walk will be aproximately two miles long.
