Discovering Durdle Door in a Day

  1. 9:00AM: Durdle Door Beach
    Starting point

    Begin your day exploring the iconic Durdle Door beach, a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast. The beach is perfect for a morning stroll, discovering rock pools, or relaxing on the shingle beach.

  2. 11:00AM: Lulworth Cove

    Next, head to Lulworth Cove, a horseshoe-shaped cove with crystal clear waters and plenty of natural beauty. Take a walk along the coastal path, indulge in some refreshments at the local cafes, or explore the heritage centre and learn about the history of the area.

  3. 1:00PM: Tyneham Village
    20 minutes (7.1 miles) from Lulworth Cove

    Take a short trip to the abandoned village of Tyneham, which has been left untouched since 1943, when the villagers were evacuated for military training. Explore the preserved cottages and church, and wander through the surrounding countryside.

    15 minutes (5.2 miles) from Tyneham Village

    Finish off your day at the iconic ruins of Corfe Castle, built by William the Conqueror over 1,000 years ago. Learn about the castle's turbulent history, wander through the ruins and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
