We took the entire family for a jolly good day out to Lulworth Cove to visit the natural rock formation that is Durdle Door.

I would say that although there were many children there, kids should be kept a very close eye on, as there are some very steep cliffs to navigate around and kids do love to go explore!

There were a few people walking with walking sticks, however it does not have wheelchair access.

It was a very hot day and we should have provided ourselves with more water to avoid dehydration.But all in all, a day out at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door is well worthy of a visit for all the family!
