Jurassic Coastal Walks - Worth Matravers
Worth Matravers
Day trip to the Jurassic coast from a little village just west of Swanage called Worth Matravers close to the Purbeck hills, this is our entry point to the start of Dorset coastal hike visiting Seacombe and the Dancing ledge.
Dorset's Jurassic Coast - Bald Explorer goes to Dancing Ledge
In today's video, Dave Ford takes me to the fascinating quarry along the Dorset coastline known as Dancing Ledge.
Dancing Ledge is part of the Jurassic Coast near Langton Matravers in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. Dancing Ledge is a flat area of rock at the base of a small cliff. A little scrambling is required for access. It is signposted on the South West Coast Path a few kilometres west of Swanage. Dancing Ledge is so called because at certain stages of the tide when the waves wash over the horizontal surface, the surface undulations cause the water to bob about making the ledge appear to dance.

The Walk to Dancing Ledge
A crisp December day, the sun low in the sky and we walked to Dancing Ledge along the old Spyway and then on to The Square and Compass at Worth Matravers. If you haven't tried this walk, it's well worth making the effort. Very muddy and slippery underfoot. About six miles altogether.
Dancing Ledge
Dancing Ledge is part of the Jurassic Coast near Langton Matravers in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. Dancing Ledge is a flat area of rock at the base of a small cliff. A little scrambling is required for access. It is signposted on the South West Coast Path a few kilometres west of Swanage. Dancing Ledge is so called because at certain stages of the tide when the waves wash over the horizontal surface, the surface undulations cause the water to bob about making the ledge appear to dance.

Aerial Views of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset: Running the South West Coast Path - DJI Spark Drone HD
I took my DJI Spark Drone down to the Isle of Purbeck peninsular in Dorset, to shoot some aerial footage of the beautiful coastline around Chapman's Pool (to the west of Worth Matravers), along the world famous Jurassic Coast.
My friend is currently ultra-marathon training, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to join him and capture the stunning scenery, whilst using his training as a focal point for the video.
I hope you enjoy the view, and it might inspire you to visit this spectacular part of England.
