With 400 square miles of countryside almost entirely designated an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty, West Dorset is a great place to explore on two wheels. Here you’ll find
sleepy villages, bustling market towns, serene river valleys and green rolling hills. Our world
famous Jurassic Coast is not far away and offers dramatic cliff-top views.
The National Cycle Network Route 2 is part of a wider route that will take you to the Port of
Poole via Purbeck. You can use this leaflet to follow the route in West Dorset between Lyme Regis and Dorchester.
The entire route covers approximately 30 miles and is manageable in a day, but you can do as
much or as little as you please.
The route includes the fascinating towns of Lyme Regis, Bridport and Dorchester and many pretty villages along the way.
