Ascent to the Upper Path from Dancing Ledge The coast path between Dancing Ledge and Durlston Head follows the cliff-top (above the vertical cliffs of Portland Stone). Above this is a steep coastal slope on the Purbeck formations and at the top is the "Upper Path" to Durlston along the seaward edge of fields.
