Durdle Door, what an absolute must-see! Spending an afternoon on this beautiful part of the Jurassic Coast is truly unforgettable. I began my trip by parking the car and, although it does cost, let me tell you, it's totally worth it! Just knowing your car is safe and you’re within easy reach of the main event makes all the difference for a stress-free experience. I can definitely recommend taking the coastal hike around the top of the cliffs, just look at the photo, isn't it marvellous? The breathtaking view that unfolded before me was simply stunning – the vast expanse of the turquoise blue water meeting the white cliffs was magical. Looking down, I could see people enjoying the sunny day on the lovely pebble beach below. I decided to head down too. The steep steps leading down to the cove made it an engaging walk. It's a nice little exercise. Finally reaching the bottom and lying on the beach feeling the sunshine is just pure bliss!
