Pack buckets, spades, picnic hampers, sunscreen, and rumble merrily down to this stunning horseshoe-shaped cove with crystal clear waters.

A short stroll east of Lulworth Cove leads to a fascinating prehistoric fossil forest. Examine fossilised tree stumps and roots dating back to the Jurassic Era, and take your geology enthusiasts along to explore the area's ancient history. The area around Lulworth Cove is a fantastic base for hunting for fossils or exploring impressive geological formations. It forms part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is perfect for active days by the ocean.

Here are some items you can incorporate into your campervan road trip through West Lulworth. The South West Coast Path winds through West Lulworth, across cliffs above the beach. It is an excellent means to soak in the spectacular scenery along the Jurassic Coast. Park your camper at Lulworth Cove Car Park. From here, you are a short walk from the trailhead for the South West Coast Path. Follow the signs from the car park towards Lulworth Cove, then look for the signs to Durdle Door or the South West Coast Path. The path heading west towards Durdle Door is one of the most scenic and popular routes, with coast views and iconic rock formations. The initial climb from Lulworth Cove is quite steep but quickly levels out, offering stunning coastline views and access to nearby sites like Stair Hole.

Just before Durdle Door, Man O' War Beach is a hidden gem on the Jurassic Coast. Limestone cliffs shelter it and offer a quieter, more secluded beach ideal for a more relaxing beach experience. The beach is pet-friendly all year round; however, no facilities are nearby, so come prepared.

Take a quick 10-minute drive or a 30-minute walk to Durdle Door to marvel at the iconic limestone arch, an absolute must-see when you are in this corner of Dorset. The walk is breathtaking and ideal for almost all ages, so wear your comfortable shoes and head out for a short but hilly walk with gorgeous views. Take your camera to snap pictures of one of the most photographed landmarks on the coast, and stop at one of the local eateries or pubs for a well-earned snack or tipple.

The small village of West Lulworth brims with 300-year-old thatched cottages that surround the lovely parish church. Head over to the Lulworth Cove Visitor Centre for interactive displays on geology, fossils, and the history of the Jurassic Coast, providing a great introduction to the area. Wander through the quaint streets, pottering around traditional English gardens, and soak in fantastic views as you enjoy the village's historic character and coastal charm. Stop at the historic 16th-century Castle Inn for a meal and drink after your walk. The pub has cosy seating, exceptional food, and a traditional atmosphere.

A short walk from the village, Lulworth Castle is perfect for a historic day out. It has lovely gardens, woodland walks, and a small chapel. The castle often hosts seasonal events and activities, especially for families.
