Meeting at the famous Square & Compass pub in Worth Matravers at 12:00pm, we will take a leisurely stroll along the Priests Way to the site. Here, dinosaur fans of all ages can explore to their hearts' content as we stand in the fossilised footsteps of Jurassic Giants. Spyway’s footprints date to the late Jurassic period, 145 million years ago, and there are more than 100 fossilised tracks preserved in the quarry site.

All walks will be led by one of our expert Jurassic Coast Ambassadors, and they are suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, with well-behaved dogs on leads welcome too. The walk is gentle and takes less than two hours total, finishing up back at the Square & Compass, where there is a parking area just across the road.
