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. The gully leading off to the right ends at Whiteware Quarry.
