Durdle Door
Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast near Lulworth in Dorset, England. It is privately owned by the Welds, a family who own 12,000 acres in Dorset in the name of the Lulworth Estate. It is open to the public. The name Durdle is derived from the Old English 'thirl' meaning bore or drill.
Chaldon Herring
Chaldon Herring or East Chaldon is a village in the English county of Dorset. It is situated within the Purbeck administrative district of the county, eight miles south-east of the county town of Dorchester. It is sited two miles from the coast amongst the chalk hills of the South Dorset Downs, the highest point in the area being Chaldon Hill about a mile and a half to the south overlooking the sea. It has a population of 166 (2001). 11.9% of dwellings are second homes.
White Nothe
White Nothe (meaning "White Nose") is a chalk headland on the English Channel coast at the eastern end of Ringstead Bay, east of Weymouth in Dorset, England. The area is well known for its geology and fossils. Its flanks are the result of prehistoric landslides and the inaccessible slopes of the undercliff provide a secluded wildlife habitat. There is a zigzag path up the cliff, believed to be one of the locations used by smugglers in the book Moonfleet.
Bat's Head
Bat's Head is a chalk headland on the Dorset coast in southern England, located between Swyre Head and Durdle Door to the east, and Chaldon Hill and White Nothe to the west. There is a small but very visible cave at the base of the headland known as Bat's Cave. A spectacular path, part of the South West Coast Path, runs along the coast through rolling green downland countryside to the north of Bat's Head.
Man of War Bay
Man of War Bay encloses Man O'War Cove on the Dorset coast in southern England, between the headlands of Durdle Door to the west and Man O War Head to the east. The UK Ordnance Survey maps at 1:50000 and 1:25000 scale do not mark a bay of this name in the area and therefore Man of War Bay may be a local name. The cove the bay encloses is called Man O'War Cove so the spelling "Man of War Bay" is doubtful. The Ordnance Survey maps mark a St Oswald's Bay so this is the official name.
Scratchy Bottom
Scratchy Bottom (or Scratchy's Bottom) is a clifftop valley between Durdle Door and Swyre Head in Dorset, England. A dry valley in the chalk, it is surrounded by farmland at its sides and landward end, with cliffs at the seaward end. The name is thought to refer to a rough hollow. The location came second after Shitterton, also in Dorset, in a 2012 poll for "Britain's worst place name" carried out by the genealogy website Find My Past.
Swyre Head, Lulworth
See also Swyre Head, the highest hill in the Purbeck Hills. Swyre Head, Lulworth is a hill and sea cliff which lies on the Jurassic Coast between Bat's Head to the west and Durdle Door to the east, close to Lulworth (further to the east) in Dorset, England. It is located approximately 8 miles east of Weymouth and 14 miles west of Swanage.
St Oswald's Bay
St Oswald's Bay is located near Lulworth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. The bay has a narrow beach of shingle with high chalk cliffs. There are sometimes rockfalls and landslides on the cliffs. The beach is cut off at high tide at the western end. At the eastern end, the climb to the shore is steep and slippery if wet. The beach is isolated with no facilities.
