Man O'War Beach
Beach
👍👍 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.
Natural coastline...

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.

Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens
Garden
👍👍 I just want to start off by saying this place is free to get in. Where else is there that has free entry these days. We took the kids, and they absolutely loved it. Plenty of space for them to run around and lots of animals for them to see. The facilities are great. The toilets were nice and clean,...

Sailor's Return
Pub
👍👍 Very foodie pub in super location. Menu still limited but I'm sure it will expand soon. Food was lovely. On the down side the serving staff couldn't answer several questions about the food, which made us and the table next to us giggle. The meals are tasty but won't fill you up so you have to pay e...

Clean and unspoilt. Lots of kite surfers, wind s...
