Cost
£63 inclusive of supplement for 2 nights in shared private dorms, with exclusive hire of the hostel. Includes free tea, coffee and milk in self-catering kitchen.
Activities
We have exclusive hire of Lulworth Cove on the Dorset Jurassic coast. After checking into the hostel on Friday evening, we plan a short evening walk from the hostel down to Durdle Door which is probably the most famous stone arch anywhere in the world. It was created when the sea pierced through the Portland limestone around 10,000 years ago. Returning to Lulworth via the coast path.
Saturday: The 10-mile walk will take us to the lost village of Tynehame which was evacuated in December 1943 during WWII and has been deserted ever since. The area was needed for military training but after the war ended, the villagers were not allowed to return. You can still see some of the original buildings at Tyneham - The Row was a row of four terraced houses, numbered from the higher end nearest the church. Both the restored church and school buildings are still intact and have exhibitions about the village and villagers. At Tyneham Farm, some of the outbuildings have been restored. In Tyneham there is a picnic area where we will have lunch before making our way back to the hostel.
Sunday: After leaving the hostel there is the option to visit the Kimmerage Museum of Jurassic Marine Life and also visit Kimmerage Bay to look for fossils on the beach before making our way home.
Refreshments
Hostel has a self-catering kitchen. Bring own food and drinks. You will need a packed lunch for Saturday's walk.
