Parked at Middle Beach car park which a National Trust one. Then walked up to Old Harry Rocks where we continued up to Ballard Down. Here you’ll see the most amazing views, down over Swanage & its Bay & Poole Harbour & out over to a Bournemouth & all the way long the coast to Hengistbury Head & also the IoW. Sit there & take it all in, it’s so peaceful.

Steady climb from Corfe Castle for 3 miles, followed by a sharp descent to the road, only to have a leg aching ascent of steps to the obelisk (the longer but easier route around the back is an option). From this point it's an easy stroll along Ballard Down to the coast or Old Harry. Normally the views are spectacular along this stretch, and you can see Poole Harbour, the Isle of Wight and Jurassic coast. However, today was so misty you could hardly see Swanage.
