On June 15, 1945. A RAF Liberator JT985 flying to India crashed into a ridge in the Purbeck Hills shortly after takeoff from RAF Holmsley South, killing all 27 occupants (24 passengers, 3 crew) on board. The cause was likely the pilot flying too low in poor visibility.

Meaning of the Name: White Nothe means "White Nose," which is descriptive of its appearance—a protruding, nose-like shape of white chalk cliff. The area is renowned for its fascinating geology and fossils. Its distinctive slopes are a result of prehistoric landslides, which have created a secluded undercliff area with a unique wildlife habitat. It forms a significant landmark between the villages of Ringstead and Holworth, and from its summit, you can see notable sights like Bat's Head and the top of Durdle Door to the east, and the Isle of Portland to the southwest.

Stop here for a great breakfast

also known as the "Devil's Anvil," is a large, distinctive sandstone block located on a conical hill on Godlingston Heath near the village of Studland in south Dorset, England. This impressive rock, weighing approximately 400 tonnes, is a popular landmark and a local curiosity. Local legends offer a more dramatic explanation for the rock's existence. The most famous myth says the Devil, standing on The Needles on the Isle of Wight, hurled the massive rock with the intention of hitting Corfe Castle, Bindon Abbey, or Salisbury Cathedral. However, his aim was poor, and the rock landed short of its target, where it now sits. Before it toppled over in 1970, the rock had a flat top and an anvil-like shape, which led to its nickname "the Devil's Anvil." Some folklore also suggests that the rock was a holy stone or a Druidical altar.

Don't stand too close to edge of cliff!

The steps referred to by Ed are down to Shep’s Hollow. The council have repaired/replaced them and at present it is safe to descend.

There is a slight climb down to the pool but doable, just watch your footing.

Yep, its a big rock, but worth the hike and views.

Nice cafe. Usually art installations downstairs. Walks along coast and not far to Swanage. https://www.durlston.co.uk/

- Built in **1830** as a folly by Reverend John Clavell, likely as an observatory or romantic coastal landmark. - Moved **25 meters inland** in 2008 to save it from cliff erosion—an engineering feat involving dismantling and rebuilding stone-by-stone. - Inspired writer **Thomas Hardy**, who featured it in his novel *The Well-Beloved*. - Now a unique **holiday rental** managed by the Landmark Trust, offering panoramic views of Kimmeridge Bay and the Jurassic Coast. - Its Tuscan-style design and mysterious history (no clear original purpose) add to its allure as a coastal curiosity.

Built by W.M. Hardy in 1886-87 entirely of local stone. The 'castle' was never a real castle: it was purpose-built by Burt as a restaurant for the visitors to his estate. The castle played a part in the evolution of radio and telecommunications. A team of Marconi's engineers used the roof of the castle in the 1890s for some of their early wireless experiments to transmit to the Isle of Wight. The castle passed through the hands of many owners until in 1973 it was bought by Dorset County Council. It was designated as a listed building at Grade II in 1983.

Views are outstanding lovely little trails across the coastline

It’s actually a private road down to the beach …
