ドーセットの峡谷・トップ6

nice view

Stair Hole is a fascinating and impressive place on the Jurassic Coast in southern England that is definitely worth a visit. The cliffs and rocks that jut out into the sea here are breathtakingly beautiful and provide a dramatic backdrop for photographers and nature lovers. Particularly impressive is the natural rock formation that leads into the water like a staircase (hence the name) – a real highlight for any visitor. The area is perfect for coastal walks, where you can enjoy the fresh sea air and admire the impressive natural surroundings. Stair Hole is a place that combines tranquility and beauty and leaves a lasting impression. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience the wild beauty of the English coast!

A wonderful area. Breathtaking views of the cliffs and the sea; it's worth coming here for hiking and, in the summer, definitely for swimming. I recommend staying at the nearby Durdle Door Holiday Park.

Stunning views for miles and miles. I have missed this place.

From the 1770s these rock outcrops were good for ashlar, dressings and carving. In the accounts for 1771 William Chinchin dug 418 tons of ashlar or front stone, 101 tons of backing stone, 7 sets of caps and legs ( i.e. saddle stones to support granaries) and 1 ton for agricultural rollers. In the 1809-1811 accounts Seacombe is recorded as the place where stone was loaded onto boats for export "May 6th- June 3rd Chinchen Bower to Henry Bankes Esq for ground of stone shipped from Seacombe Quarry œ1-1s-10d". The Dorset Quarry Company ran the quarry until the early 1930s

The lane that leads you through this Holloway is white on the OS Explorer map, meaning that this is an unclassified country road. These are quite often private roads. however, due to the presence of signs at both ends asking people to keep their dogs on a lead (as of late August 2024), it would suggest that the public are welcome to walk along here. I am also unaware of what this Holloway is actually called, so I've given it the name of the farm next to it.

Ancient old trackway that unfortunately looks like it has been damaged by off-road vehicles and water erosion. Almost impossible to ride in many places. Shame.
