Jurassic Coast Weekend

This 3-day challenge stretches between Old Harry Rocks in Dorset, to Orcombe Point in East Devon, the Jurassic Coast – England’s first Natural World Heritage Site.

As you traverse across England’s coastline, the exposed cliff sections allow you to look back through 185 million years of time; dinosaur remains have been found here, and it’s a fossil-hunter’s paradise!

All your meals and accommodation are provided for you, and in the evenings you’ll camp at a lovely campsite a short distance from the route.

Choose from the dates below:
