Stroll down to the perfectly formed horse shoe shaped cove formed over 10,000 years ago; try no to be distracted by the wonderful coffee shops and tea rooms on the way! Don’t forget to check out Stair Hole and Lulworth Crumple formed over 180million years ago!
Durdle Door

Head back to Weymouth
Wander the golden sands of Weymouth beach or peruse the cafes and shops. Heading back through the Dorset countryside, start uploading those spectacular shots you caught to social media!
