View of Lulworth Cove from the east

Highlight • Viewpoint

To the east of the cove lies the famous Fossil Forest. This unique site features fossilized moulds of ancient tree stumps and a fossil soil from the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary (around 135 million years ago). It offers a remarkable glimpse into a prehistoric landscape. Access to the Fossil Forest may sometimes be restricted due to its proximity to an army firing range, so it's advisable to check firing times before visiting.

Lulworth Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

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 😁
