Lulworth

Lulworth is a village and civil parish on the coast of Dorset, England, on the Isle of Purbeck. It lies within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is best known for Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, two prominent geological and tourist attractions along the coast. The landscape features limestone and chalk cliffs and fossil-rich outcrops.

The parish includes the settlements of West Lulworth and East Lulworth and surrounding countryside. The Lulworth estate and Lulworth Castle are local landmarks, and the Lulworth Ranges to the north form a Ministry of Defence firing range with restricted access during firing times.

The area is a popular destination for walkers and visitors exploring the coast path, with the South West Coast Path running through the parish. Lulworth Cove is known for its sheltered inner cove and unique geology, while Durdle Door is a sea-stack arch a short distance to the east. The region preserves fossil-bearing rocks from the Jurassic period, attracting geologists and fossil hunters.

The village's economy is largely based on tourism and farming. The surrounding coast is managed by national bodies and remains subject to coastal protection and conservation measures.
