Looking up to the top of Golden Cap from Seatown Beach.
At 191m high, Golden Cap is the highest sea cliff in southern England more apparent from the West.

Crossing over into the fields before the slow climb.

Looking back past Seatown to Doghouse Hill. Another one of my listed walks.

A convenient place for a short break to catch our breath, a quick bite to eat and drink before moving on.

Guess which way the wind blows?

Not far from the top now.
