A moderate walk (coast) starting and finishing in Devon, England, about 14.00km (8.70 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 5:00h. It is suitable for families with children, but unsuitable for prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.
The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site and there's no better way to explore than by foot. This walk, along the South West Coast Path from Sidmouth to Seaton, takes in some of the best scenery of the coast. Don't be fooled into thinking it's a coastal ramble - there's some serious legwork to be done.
You can find out more about the region here: www.jurassiccoast.com
Up again to Coxe's Cliff. The vantage point from the top of the cliff is a wonderful way to get a sense of the scale of the coast - you can see for miles.
Along the edge of South Down Common to Beer. And you may well need one by this point. There are buses from Beer to Seaton if you have done enough for the day.
Finish in Seaton. Buses head back to Sidmouth regularly. It's also a pleasant place for an overnight stay (as is Sidmouth) if you fancy some more coastal walking the next day.
About 1.17 km (~0.73 miles) from

Beer X 2
Grew up locally, and finally got to walk this section of coastline with my 13yr old son. Walked from Sidmouth to Branscombe on a October afternoon / evening, with the last section navigated with head torches for more of an adventure!
Followed up two days later with the section from Branscombe to Beer. Fantastic views (for the section walked in daylight!), topped off with a beer in Beer!

Walk One Way & Catch The Bus Back
I love this walk it's got amazing views. I recommend walking one way and catching the AVMT 899 bus back, it runs from Seaton to Sidmouth via Beer & Branscombe. The 899 is a brilliant bus ride, traveling along scenic country lanes with great views.

All sorted. Apologies for such a heinous crime.
