A run along parts of the Jurassic Coast we meet at Osmington Mills, just to the east of Weymouth. The route starts along the Coastal Path until we pass the Burning Cliff before heading inland to the village of Holworth.

A climb and descent to Moigns Down before heading further west passing ancient field systems around Poxwell. There are many ancient features in the landscape here if you know where to look! We are on the Hardy Way now and run uphill until we reach White Horse Hill, so called because a white horse has been carved out of the chalk hill. The Osmington White Horse was created in 1808 as a tribute to King George III who regularly visited his seaside residence in Weymouth.

There is now a steep descent into the village of Sutton Poyntz as we head south back towards the coast passing the site of a Roman Villa before re-joining the Coast Path. A stunning last section tales us past Black Head Ledge and Goggin’s Barrow before we arrive at the Smugglers Inn.

The Smugglers Inn is a Traditional English Pub with stunning views overlooking the Isle of Portland. The Inn was the headquarters of the French Smuggler Pierre Latour and one of the main landing places for smuggled goods in the 17th Century
