With a white pebble beach and clean turquoise waters, the horseshoe bay of Lulworth Cove is an extremely picturesque place. At low tide, you can explore lots of rock pools that are teeming with life.

Great little cafe to stop off at for a little refresher. We hiked to Durdle Door (and beyond) first before coming here, it was just what we needed 😁

The path in Lulworth led uphill and downhill and showed beautiful impressions of the landscape on the cliffs. You can also go hiking here. On to the next place, which could have been reached on foot if it hadn't been for the mountain 🤪. So jumped into the 🚙 and got out again at the next point....

Incredibly beautiful.
It was windy and foggy, and there wasn't a soul around this tourist hot spot.

Intended to include a range walk down to Fossil Forest but Range walks were closed. Seems they open most weekends and weekdays in school holidays.
