You can swim, snorkel, kayak, cruise, or simply gaze at the clear blue waters of Lulworth Cove. The coast offers coasteering and snorkelling for the more adventurous, rockpooling and fossil-hunting for the curious. Just west of Lulworth Cove is Stair Hole, where interesting rock formations can be seen, including caves, blow holes, tunnels, and the layered rocks of the Lulworth Crumple. The South West Coast Path provides well-signposted walking on the coast, and it’s a short but steep walk west to reach Durdle Door and its crescent-shaped shingle beach. Both Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are on a five-mile stretch of coast that’s in the ownership of the Lulworth Estate. You can also visit the estate’s other big attraction, Lulworth Castle, a few miles inland during a stay here too. Perhaps more recognisable and still within reach is Corfe Castle.
