Langdon Wood

Langdon Wood is a National Trust site, part of the wider Golden Cap estate between Seatown, Chideock and Charmouth. The woodland boasts a short, circular walk that’s popular with walkers and families for its flat, easy walking and wide, level paths. It’s also the easiest way to reach the summit of Golden Cap, the highest peak on the South Coast of England where you’ll find incredible views of the Jurassic Coast. The tall mature trees provide shade on a hot day and shelter from the wind, and if you’re lucky you’ll spot wildlife and deer amongst the undergrowth. In Spring, the woodland fills with a carpet of bluebells, an incredible sight that’s only around for a few weeks each year. If you go off the track partway round the loop, you’ll see a den-building area, where children can make shelters from fallen branches.
