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⚠️

Close to the Lulworth Cove and next to Durdle Door - which makes it a great place to stop by and see the views. It's super close to the village with small shops and cafes, which also makes it a great and easy place to visit.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful walk and location. Great place to snorkel and explore the caves, there were plenty of fish and different types of coral. Lots of kayakers and paddle boarders come into the cove and caves. It can get a little choppy and you can feel the currents so take caution, confident swimmers only. Water shoes advised. It is much quieter than the main beach.

Lovely scenery! The walk up the hill was worthwhile
