Welcome: Travel Blog About Lulworth Cove and the Area

Hello, dear readers! We are very pleased to present you with our newest project – a travel blog about Lulworth Cove and the region. Lulworth Cove is a World Heritage site and it welcomes thousands of visitors every year, but what should you do once you see it? Leave? That would be a shame.

We thought you should have a detailed blog about all the places you can visit while you are here, so you are not left wondering what to do once you visit the main sites of the region. This includes our finest recommendations for food and drinks, so we have all bases covered for you.

In our first post, we want to briefly tell you more about the main attractions of the area, most of which are natural sites, but are not limited to them. Enjoy reading!

Lulworth Cove

Lulworth Cove is a cove created in the Last Ice Age in Britain, between 33,000 and 22,000 years ago. It is one of the finest examples of this type of cove in the world and what makes it even more special, apart from its beauty, is the collection of various types of rock formation that date back to more than 180 million years. Talking about a rare sight!

Stair Hole

Stair Hole is usually the second stop along the tour of the area where Lulworth Cove is. Stair Hole is small cove close to Lulworth Cove (you might go kayaking from one to another, which is a topic for another article). Stair Hole is an example of what Lulworth Cove looked like in the past and it also features the Lulworth Crumple, which shows exposed rocks that date back millions of years.

Durdle Door

Durdle Door tends to be the last stop of the tour along the coast. As the name suggests, Durdle Door does look like a door, with a gorgeous rock formation, that starts on the ground and ends at the sea, creating the beautiful illusion. It is one of the most Instagramable places of the region, so even for that little reason, you should definitely give it a look.

Lulworth Heritage Centre

The best place to learn about the geological and local history of Lulworth Cove is Lulworth Heritage Centre. It is a rather small museum, located in a gorgeous medieval building, but it tells you everything you need to know to better enjoy the sights of the region and to appreciate them even more.

Lulworth Castle

If you are the type of person who prefers exploring human history, rather than geological history like most people who visit Lulworth Cove, then fret not, because you can always go to Lulworth Castle.

Lulworth Castle is a 17th century (1588-1609) hunting lodge, which, however, resembles the old medieval castles of the past since it was created in the revival fortified castle style. This style is quite a rare sight to uphold as Lulworth Castle is one out of five such castles that you can find in the United Kingdom.

Holy Trinity Church, West Lulworth

To the pious of you or simply to those who love a good cathedral, you should visit the local Holy Trinity Church in West Lulworth, which is a majestic work of Victorian architecture, built around the 1870’s, with some impressive stained grass.
