Worbarrow cottages Picture

One of the most popular Tyneham village walks is the walk from Tyneham village to worbarrow. From Tyneham Village, walk back towards the carpark and over the bridge to where Tyneham Farm is, then follow the track right which will take you to Worbarrow. The whole of the area was requisitioned in 1943 so the residents of worbarrow suffered the same fate as Tyneham village residents and the valleys owners when they were asked to give up their homes for the good of their country. The only worbarrow cottage that still stands in anything that could be recognised as a house is that of Gate cottages. Gate cottages is found on the side of the track just before you come to Worbarrow Bay. Standing here, you can see the cottage would have had fantastic views all across the Tyneham valley, Worbarrow Bay and the prominent Worbarrow Tout that sticks out into the sea. There are other remains of cottages and buildings around worbarrow Bay, these include the Millers cottage sat just above worbarrow beach with its amazing views across worbarrow Bay and the surrounding coastline. All that remains of the Millers cottage these days is the foundations, the rest having been demolished. There is also the odd reminder of where the boathouses once stood, close to the beach, one belonging to the Worbarrow fishermen and one to the Tyneham estate.
