Portland circular from the Martleaves Farm Campsite

fr de

A nice, fairly easy wander around Portland from Martleaves campsite.

A nice stop-off for refreshments at Salt by the marina is worthwhile. Some of the climbs can be a bit challenging, but once at the top, the view from The View is stunning.
