Lulworth Cove - nice but ho-hum

But the good part was quite a hike above that little cove

But we made it to the top

But it was still quite a ways to go to Durdle Door.

The view of Durdle Door was great from the top

There were a lot of steps down to the beach in various directions

The real Durdle Door. We called it the drinking dragon.

The cliff along the beach was absolutely spectacular.

The rocks were bright white - a shiny chalk - but had spots of shiny black

As you can see when we get closer.

The black part is flint - another hard shiny stone.

West end - the start of another door. According to Jenny, the rock almost visible in front of the door sometimes looked like a sailing ship.

And looking back east. Lulworth cove is farther east, beyond Durdle Door - the dragon.
