Parks & Nature
Lulworth Cove station
Its stunning and unusual.
Ancient fortress/settlement, the shape of the hill is extraordinary - a steep climb, with great views when you reach the top, my children loved this walk when they were young! The Saxon Arms is a nice pub just a short drive along the road for refreshment and recover afterwards.
