Sunset over Tulk's Hill

After missing out on an amazing sunset last night due to a cocktail evening with friends, the clouds were looking promising over Bridport tonight, so I headed off to a number of higher hilltop locations to see what the view was offering.
I ended up at Abbotsbury Castle but then headed across the road to Tulk's Hill, a little known NT site on the Coast Rd inbetween Burton Bradstock & Abbotsbury.
I arrived just a few minutes late to capture the sunlight lighting up the island of Portland as the sun set below a bank of cloud across the horizon, but the clouds across the bay and over West Dorset begin to glow as the sun sets deeper.
The view from the top along the Jurassic Coast towards Burton, Golden Cap & Lyme Regis was wonderful tonight. A clear night at last, after the hazy evenings of late.
