It is possible to walk to the cliffs at Dancing Ledge (a popular beauty spot) using footpaths from the village, a distance of about a mile and a half. The village itself offers a very well stocked Post

Office/general store and a pub that provides food. There is also another public house offering food at Kingston about two miles away, whilst Worth Matravers, Langton's sister village, is only one mile away across footpaths and has similar facilities. The famous village of Corfe Castle is only four and a half miles away.
