Stair Hole

Stair Hole is a big hole in a spine of hard Portland limestone on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, England. Nearby beds of sedimentary rock have been uplifted and twisted to create a feature known as the Lulworth Crumple. This uplifted limestone area overlooking the English Channel is a paradise for hikers.

This place is lovely as well. I would suggest visiting it before Durdle Door. It’s located on the left side/behind the car park. Bit risky⚠️

Small enclosed cove surrounded by spectacular rocky cliffs, showcasing thousands of years of geological activity in one place. The viewpoint on the clifftop gives a good perspective, but to fully appreciate the rocks it's a moderately challenging scramble down the bank. The rock formations on display here are some of the UK's finest, with incredible folded layers of rock, archways and blowholes in the cliff. It's a must see if you're walking the coast path between Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. There are comprehensive visitor facilities at Lulworth Cove, including a café, gift shop and toilets. Plenty of parking is available at a minimum £10 charge for 4 hours. It may seem steep but there's plenty to fill that time between here and Durdle Door.

This is a fascinating natural feature located near Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast. This geological wonder is known for its dramatic rock formations, sea caves, and blowholes, which have been carved out by the power of the sea over thousands of years. The view from the top is breathtaking, offering a glimpse of the layers of ancient rock that make this area so unique. It's a great spot for geology enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone who appreciates the raw beauty of nature. Although it's a small site, Stair Hole's rugged landscape and striking features make it a must-see when visiting the Lulworth area.

visitors should note that the use of drones is prohibited in this area. Additionally, the beach is not easily accessible, and the off-road path can be pretty slippery, making it difficult for some people to enjoy. Furthermore, the parking fees are steep at £10 for 4 hours and £20 for the whole day. It would be beneficial for visitors to explore other parking options in the area.

📍🇬🇧 Such a beautiful place! 😍 If you're visiting Dorset, you definitely have to visit this spot- you'll fall in love with it!📍🇬🇧

Absolutely worth to visit, had plenty of fun exploring around, even though some paths were just mud slides and you will get a little hiking to do as well. surprisingly there was not a lot of people, could be because of the season. And a tip to bring windbreaker, possible high winds.

Amazing place, its really fun but I was scared of seaweed. The water was good but too salty. Rocky beach is difficult walk on barefoot, trainers needed as hiking is required. (My daughter's opinion)
