Durdle Door is one of the most prominent attractions in the UK’s Dorset. This natural attraction came into being about 10,000 years ago when the sea penetrated the Portland limestone and made a hole in it. This unique formation has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can reach its location from Lulworth Cove by a short but picturesque stretch of the coastline. The Weld family, who owns the Lulworth Estate, has had private ownership over Durdle Door for several generations. Nonetheless, the place is accessible to the general public. You can enjoy stunning views and access to Durdle Door from the family-operated Durdle Door Holiday Park.
