Part of the Portland Coastal Path - but where this section gets its name from, I do not know, but am intrigued!

South West Coast Path, Grove Cliff

The South West Coast Path is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles, running from Minehead, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset. Just over 13 miles of the trail is a circular route around the Isle of Portland from Ferrybridge where the Island links to the mainland. The Portland Loop is challenging in places with a mixture of paths, quarry tracks and quiet roads.

Portland Youth Offenders' Institute

Many HMPs are grim from the exterior and Portland YOI is no exception. The high stone walls are forbidding. Today the sun shines, but often it is very wet and windy here.
