Worth
Matravers,
Dorset

​Worth Matravers is a small village near the Dorset coast, with some of the finest views across the open countryside. From the village car park, our Guidl tour takes us out to take in a section of the South West Coast Path. I gave several options for routes on this tour, as parts of the coast path are extremely steep. Worth Matravers has a small cafe and a village pub, for refreshments. The village car park only costs a couple of pounds per day and has toilets available for use.
