Organiser's Description
Jurassic Coast 75-Mile Challenge
Abbotsbury to Studland Bay | 3 Days | 75 Miles
Take on one of the UK’s most iconic endurance treks — 75 miles along the dramatic Jurassic Coast, from Abbotsbury to the official finish at Studland Bay. This 3-day challenge combines raw coastal beauty, steep ascents, and endless sea views with the satisfaction of completing one of Britain’s toughest short-distance treks.
Day 1: Abbotsbury → Lulworth Cove (25 miles)
Your journey begins in the coastal village of Abbotsbury. The route climbs and dips through Chesil Beach, West Bay, and over the mighty Golden Cap — the highest point on England’s south coast — before finishing at the stunning Lulworth Cove.
Day 2: Lulworth Cove → Kimmeridge (25 miles)
Pass Durdle Door and continue along remote cliff paths and fossil-rich bays, taking in some of Dorset’s most dramatic coastal scenery before reaching the quiet and rugged Kimmeridge Bay.
Day 3: Kimmeridge → Studland Bay (25 miles)
The final push takes you past Chapman’s Pool, Dancing Ledge, and Durlston Head before arriving at Old Harry Rocks — the gateway to Studland Bay and the official finish of the Jurassic Coast. Celebrate your achievement with views that stretch across the English Channel.

Course Details
Get ready to conquer the most spectacular section of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site—the epic traverse from Abbotsbury to Studland Bay! The initial miles test your resilience on the loose shingle of Chesil Beach. Once inland, you'll tackle the steep, unforgiving limestone slopes of the Isle of Portland, a significant elevation gain. The middle section is a rollercoaster of clifftop climbs and descents—steep, often slick gradients over exposed mudstone and limestone—to navigate around iconic landmarks like Lulworth Cove and the arch of Durdle Door. The final push across the Isle of Purbeck transitions to rugged heathland trails and demanding chalk downland, culminating in the triumphant descent toward the sandy flats of Studland Bay after passing the stark white stacks of Old Harry Rocks. Be prepared for a challenging mix of soft shingle, rocky climbs, steep elevation changes, and exposed cliff-edge trails—every mile will be earned!
