Ringstead to Durdle Door Grassy Byway

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Grassy scenic route avoiding the main road. Excellent link from Ringstead to Durdle Door but grippy tyres are needed. Also be prepared for a few gates.

View of Lulworth Cove

Highlight • Natural Monument

Strange to highlight one point because views are stunning all along this coastline, but true this point does provide a lovely view down to Lulworth Cove.

Tip by

18.6 km

Stair Hole is a small cove where you can see the extraordinary folds of limestone strata known as the ‘Lulworth Crumple’. The unique rock structure was created during the Alpine orogeny and exposed by subsequent erosion.

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.
