August 24, 2026, Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door Coastal Path

A very beautiful and much-traveled coastal path.

The Chaldon Herring coastal path offers a peaceful Dorset hike past rolling green hills, ancient barrows, and dramatic chalk cliffs. You can explore a lovely circular route detailed on AllTrails, perfect for quiet sea views

A short detour to Stair Hole is worthwhile. The bizarrely shaped rock blocks and the limestone formation eroded by the sea offer a fascinating insight into the forces of erosion. The viewpoints also offer beautiful photo opportunities of the rugged coast and the turquoise water.

The coastal path from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door is one of the most beautiful sections of the Jurassic Coast. Again and again, impressive views of the sea, the white cliffs, and the spectacular coastal landscape open up. However, the path is not level: it goes uphill and downhill several times, so some fitness is required. The effort, however, is richly rewarded – with magnificent panoramic views of the picturesque bay of Lulworth Cove and the famous rock arch of Durdle Door. This way, every climb is quickly forgotten.
