Our verdict
Steep and popular, but the pub-at-the-bottom, view-at-the-top combination is hard to beat — go early to get parking at Seatown on a fine weekend.
The classic, most direct route up Golden Cap, climbing steeply from Seatown beach through NT farmland to the summit trig point. The busiest of the approaches and the one most walkers picture when they think of the Jurassic Coast's highest cliff.
