In the summer on weekends it gets really crowded, very crowded! In the morning it's still OK. On the way back in the afternoon it was brutal 🙈.

Swyre Head Cliffs

Highlight • Climb

hmmmm.... would I recommend this? It's almost vertical in places, and first time you climb it you feel .... well, you'll see. Great fun to climb actually, and the views are well and truly worth it.

The further you get away from the main attractions, the fewer people you will meet.
The path is very steep in places and continues along the coast towards Weymouth.
You could also call it natural selection 😂😜.
It is very strenuous in places but you get to experience pure nature 🤩 and an unforgettable experience 👍

Durdle Door

Highlight • Beach

Doodle door, or Durdle door as it's called is one of Dorset’s most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is an extremely popular beauty spot.
The magnificent natural limestone arch was formed when the power of the waves eroded the rock and forged a hole through the middle. The name Durdle is derived from an old English word ‘thirl’, which means to pierce, bore or drill.

Bat's Head and Butter Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Kayakers often drive through the small cave. It is beautiful to look at and the colorful kayaks with the turquoise sea make a beautiful photo opportunity

Gravel Path to Durdle Door Clifftop

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you don't want to lug your panniers from the official cycle parking spot to Durdle Door, just cycle down this gravel path to the cliff top. It's steep but manageable with a wooden post at the top of the steps to lock your bike to.
