This coach trip offers a scenic day tour to two of Dorset's most stunning natural landmarks, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Enjoy breathtaking coastal walks, explore the iconic stone archway, and relax by the crystal-clear waters of the beautiful Lulworth Cove.

• Iconic Natural Wonders: The main attractions are Durdle Door, a stunning natural limestone arch, and Lulworth Cove, a beautiful, almost perfectly circular bay. Both are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

• Geological History: Learn about the fascinating geological history of the region and how these unique rock formations were created over millions of years. Guides often provide live commentary on the coach trip.

• Scenic Coastal Views: The coach journey often includes a scenic drive along the coast, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, cliffs, and landmarks like Poole Harbour and Sandbanks.

• Walking and Hiking: You'll have the opportunity for walks with varying levels of difficulty. A popular option is to walk the coastal path from Lulworth Cove over a hill to Durdle Door, which offers magnificent views in both directions.

• Free Time to Explore: Tours typically allow a few hours of free time at both locations, so you can explore at your own pace, take photos, and relax on the pebble beaches.
