Lulworth Cove

Lulworth Cove is a beautiful and secluded beach on the Jurassic Coast.

Just over a hill from its neighbour Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove is part of the 12,000-acre Lulworth Estate, which has been owned and managed by the Weld family since 1641.

Formed at the end of the last Ice Age, Lulworth Cove is world-famous for its unique geology and landforms, including Lulworth Crumple and Stair Hole, and is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. With its panoramic views and crystal clear waters, this beautiful pocket of the Dorset Coast attracts thousands of visitors every year. From rock-pooling and watersports to walking, coasteering or just relaxing with ice cream, this is a must-visit destination on the Jurassic Coast.

Lulworth Cove is an extremely popular place to visit especially at weekends and school holidays in the Spring and Summer.

For those with mobility issues, you can access it via an all-terrain scooter that can be booked to hire via Countryside Mobility

Accessible parking and toilets are also available on site.
