Walk Waypoints

  1. 1 Lulworth Cove Start at Lulworth Car Park. Follow the road south past the visitor centre, until you see the Cove!
  2. 2 Stair Hole From Lulworth Cove, take the stairs signposted South West Coast Path westwards up the hill. You will see Stair Hole from the view point.
  3. 3 Man o' War Bay From Stair Hole, return to Lulworth Car Park. Follow the chalk path over the hill to Man o' War Bay.
  4. 4 Durdle Door After reaching Man o War Bay view point, Durdle Door is another 2 minute walk further West along the coast path.
  5. 5 Hambury Tout This is the 'turn around point' to head back to Lulworth Cove. From Durdle Door View Point, follow the chalk path up the hill to Durdle Door car park. Walk east through the car park and across the stile, following the sign posts, towards Hambury Tout. Enjoy the magnificent view when you arrive!
  6. 6 Lulworth Fossil Forest From Hambury Tout, return down the path to Lulworth Car Park, then to Lulworth Cove. Walk around the cove to the east side, (make sure the tide is low enough to safely make the walk there and back) where you will see a steep path up the hill. Follow this up to the headland overlooking the cove. Continue East along the coast until you reach the gated entrance to the Range Walks. A few yards later there is a steep path down towards the coast; at this point, follow the signs to the Fossil Forest.
  7. 7 Mupe Rocks Once you have explored the Fossil Forest, return to the Range Walks entrance. Follow the path East along the coast until you are greeted by glorious views of Mupe Rocks, then further on the sheltered Mupe Bay.
  8. 8 Mupe Bay
  9. 9 Lulworth Car Park To return to your starting point, follow the signposted route back to Lulworth Cove, then back to the car park.
