Sightseeing
Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is an extremely popular beauty spot.
Access to the pebble and shingle beach is on foot via a path and steps over the hill from Lulworth Cove or down from the Car Park (charges apply) which is located on the cliff top at Durdle Door Holiday Park. There is a 15 minute walk along a steep downhill path, plus a further 143 steps down onto the beach (trainers or walking boots are needed for this walk, flipflops are not recommended).

Sandy beaches, cafes, culture, Bournemouth has it all. I live a stones throw from the bus station with direct routes into Bournemouth centre.

A local secret. Sculpture by the Lakes is a must for all garden lovers. A place to relax, enjoy great food, connect with nature and find stillness. This is my favourite place to visit locally.

Beautiful sandy beaches and cafes plus a range of water sports. Or why not catch the chain ferry to Studland and the Purbeck hills?
