Corporal Neil Martin Blain, S.B.S. (Special Boat Service, Royal Marines), died on June 21, 1994, at the age of 31. He was killed in the USA in a H.A.A.L.O. (High Altitude, Low Opening) parachuting accident. Corporal Blain is remembered as a person who epitomised the Commando spirit. A memorial bench dedicated to him is located at West Bexington, Dorset, the traditional halfway stopover for the challenging Lympstone to Poole race, a race he was known to love.

Use the JustPark app to park at West Bexington car park, where you’ll be treated to immediate views of Chesil Beach and the open sea. Facing the water: • Turn left for a walk towards Abbotsbury – the going is tough at first due to deep shingle, but it becomes noticeably easier after about 700 metres. • Turn right to head towards Hive Beach – a beautiful but more challenging start, with easier walking after roughly 2 km. The path is slow and energy-draining early on due to the small stones underfoot, but the effort pays off with incredible scenery and a real sense of wild, open space. Perfect for quiet beach walks, birdwatching, and photography

There's no path for cyclists along the beach anymore; they have to push their bikes through the pebbles! 🥵

One of the nicest places in the Bride valley to sit and relax by the lakes and have a coffee or cake

If you're not on a road bike this could be a good option to turn off the sometimes busy road and onto a section/alternative route of the South West Coast path up over one of Dorset's famous Iron Age Hill Forts where you'll get an even more extraordinary coastal view than you would from the road. You can continue along this traxck all the way to Hardy's monument
