In this short article I will tell you about another place that left me speechless in England. Old Harry Rocks for a walk is perfect and is located in Dorset (South England ). In Italy, this place, would have the name of Faraglioni . In fact, it is an agglomeration of rocks in the sea that gives to the place a Jurassic appearance. I will tell you how to get there, especially by public transport, at the end of the article.
Where is Old Harry Rocks?
This wonderful place is located in Dorset which is an area of southern England. The area it is in is named Jurassic Coast . From the photos / videos and from the cliffs overlooking the sea you will understand why. This primal look gives it a timeless charm. The Jurassic Coast is also Unesco Heritage since 2001.
Old Harry Rocks walk: the begin of the therapy
What to do once you get there? Start walking, whether you are alone or in company and while you do it gaze at the sea, it is therapeutic . I like this area of England a lot and not just because it is located on the seaside. The coast of England is different from my Italy. The famous (and towering) English cliffs are something to see.
More than to see they are to be skirted on foot. Along the way you will find some ledges (be careful). As soon as I arrived I stopped 15-20 minutes where the rocks are for some photos. Then I walked to Swanage (closest city to the west side) and I started the therapy.
Curiosity: why is walking good and what are its benefits?
I mentioned earlier that walking is good, but why? Below I list 5 simple reasons why walking is therapeutic:
- Walking puts you in a good mood. An English study shows that walking removes negative thoughts . This generates relaxation and your mind becomes lighter.
- Walk to be more creative. Free walking vent to the imagination , especially if you are in the middle of nature. Good, clean air and inspiration comes by itself.
- Walk to live longer. With 25 minutes you can extend your life from 3 to 7 years more.
- You train your heart by walking. The heart is a muscle: the more you train and the stronger it gets.
- Walking to tone your muscles. 30 minutes a day to improve muscle toning .
How to get to Old Harry Rocks by public transports
Getting to Old Harry Rocks by public transport is not impossible but complicated. Long times (about 3 hours if you leave from London) and a lot of money for tickets. What I will do, however, is to leave you the link that tells you which is the best option. The departure is from London but you can change it according to your starting point.
How to get to Old Harry Rocks by car
I assume that the auto is super convenient , for several reasons. Let's start by giving the option of:
- Own car. Best choice because if you own a car you will only have to refuel. If you go with company you can also share the expenses which will make the trip very cheap.
- Rented car. Let's say that it changes little. You just have to add the cost of the car rental to the cost of gasoline. From London, for a day, they are cheap (from 30 to 40 pounds).
The best thing about the car is that you are not bound by timetables or at least like those of the bus in the case of hire. Also because, once it is evening, you will leave the place.
Old Harry Rocks car park
If you decide to go to Old Harry Rocks by car there is the possibility to park in a parking in the area. From there, follow the signs that, through a path, take you to the coast side.
