Swanage Seafront

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This stretch along the Swanage seafront is just blissful. There's plenty to see and do in this pretty town and you can ride around a lot of it, although away from the sea it does get hilly. Pay attention to signs as there are sections where you can't cycle.
