👍👍 Absolutely amazing part of England, like so many partsof the U.K.
A VERY big walk down to the beach and back up to the car park. £5 to park for 4 hrs, £10 for the day up to 9pm.
Take plenty of reserves for the day. A pub up top but no food stall open. Just ice creams and drinks.

Lulworth Cove
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Fantastic, surreal, and breathtaking. The cove is about 5 min walk from the car park, which is expensive and begrudge paying, but forgot about it pretty quick as the views are worth it. You can also get a super boat trip to durdle door from the bay.

Crossways Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite
Campground
👍👍 We have moved this site. Owners very friendly and helpful. We were able to chose our pitch and move if we wanted to.
It's been such a lovely experience being able to sit and watch the deer quietly going through the forest so close to us. Watching the squirrels seemingly playing in the trees above...

Moreton Ford

👍👍 This place is Beautiful 🤩. For everyone who likes a paddle, walk, a best river with a Ford.
I think only modified jeeps etc can pass over here, it's deepest at winter.
I've only ever only witnessed a vehicle cross here, aha it was a jeep with snorkel exhaust 👌

Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum
Museum
👍👍 Very interesting museum and one that is informative of a subject which often isn't given much consideration. Not huge so don't plan a day - allow about 30 minutes. Runs on donations so do bring cash.
