Durdle Door Day Trip

🪨 Want to see a Hollywood (and Bollywood!) featured landmark? Join Bristol SU for a day trip to Durdle Door! Known for its film featuring limestone archway, this UNESCO world heritage site is a must see! 

 

What should you expect on the trip?

Arriving at Lulworth Cove, the group will first be led on a walk over the cliffs to Durdle Door, where you'll have time to chill out and relax on the shingle beach* and admire the iconic landmark and surrounding rock formations. The walk is around 45 minutes each way, along a beautiful coastal path. If you have any accessibility concerns please get in touch with us and we can help make adjustments if needed!

Following this you'll walk back along the cliffs to Lulworth Cove. Located here is the visitor's centre, where you can learn all about the local history and has several displays that come highly recommended! There are also several cafe's and toilets located nearby.

We recommend bringing snacks with you and plenty of water as for parts of the day there will not be cafe's or shops accessible. Sensible footwear (e.g. walking boots or trainers - no flipflops or sandals!) is also required as this trip involves a fair amount of walking on maintained but potentially rugged footpaths.

*There are no lifeguards at Durdle Door, so swimming will be strictly prohibited. There are also no toilet facilities here, which is why we have planned more time at Lulworth Cove.
