Durdle Door
Durdle Door is one of the most photographed and iconic monuments of Dorset damaged by time and nature. It is located on the southern coast of Dorset, on the Lulworth Estate and is of such international ecological importance that it is now a member of a family of natural wonders like the Grand Canyon of America and the Great Barrier Reef. In 2001, England became the UNESCO's first natural World Heritage site. The shape of the Durdle Door coastline is formed by its geological structure, by the contrasting solidity of the rocks and local fault and fold patterns. When the force of the waves eroded the rock and cut a hole through the middle, the beautiful natural calcareous arch was created. The name Durdle comes from the old word "thirl," meaning piercing, drilling or boring. This beautiful English coast offers outstanding views and cliff top walks as well as the landmark Jurassic rock formation even with some fossils. It's a lovely eco-adventure experience in this prehistoric landscape. Lulworth Cove is such a bucolic place that you will admire. Trekking from Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove is one of the greatest experience in the region but this may require a very good physical condition. Therefore, you can always discuss this option with our guide. The prize of this walk is a freshly ground coffee in the heart of a typical English seaside village, Lulworth Cove.
