Thursday. Magnificent views again! They improved all the way from Kimmeridge to Swyre Head. Standing on this outstanding viewpoint it is understandable why it is also called “Heaven’s Gate”. At Kingston, the Scott Arms, clothed in red virginia creeper from head to foot, was open for coffee, and we enjoyed it in what must be one of the best situated beer gardens in Dorset, overlooking Corfe Castle. Then, in glorious sunshine, down to the sea again at Chapman’s Pool before following the Purbeck Way across Corfe Common to the Castle
