subject: Lulworth Cove, Dorset [print this page] Lulworth Cove in Dorset is set on the spectacular chalk down cliffs of southern England and is one of the best places to watch the elements from the comfort of a warm, dry motorhome, even better whilst drinking a hot toddy if there's a storm raging outside.
No matter the weather, to watch the power of the sea and wind interact with the Portland Stone cliffs is breathtaking. On a beautiful, hot summer's day you can see for miles and miles, but perhaps more humbling is to watch the clouds scud along and the white tops splash against the cliffs that still bear testimony to a world of millennia ago.
Lulworth cove is part of the Jurassic Coast, so named because of the evidence of that by-gone era, trees and fossils abound here, it is such a draw some one million visitors from all over the globe are drawn to the spot, which is also a stone's throw from the famed Durdle Door another naturally occurring carved rock formation that has formed by the different types of rock to be found here.
The shapes are mostly made by the layering of hard and soft materials that are eroded at different speeds by the tides, meaning the are ever so slightly changing daily, so even if you visited a hundred times you'd never see exactly the same thing twice.
Taking a tour of the south Dorset coast is a great way to see how spectacular the area is, there are many campsites catering to all budgets and with so many visitors coming to the area it's easy to find as much or as little as you want just a stone's throw from your door, wherever you choose to park.
