Overview

Half Day Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door Mini-coach tour from Bournemouth:

Discover some of the most scenic coastline in southern England on a coach trip from Bournemouth. Travel to the famous Jurassic Coast, via Poole Harbour and Sandbanks, to experience the nation's first natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Visit both Lulworth Cove and the natural limestone arch of Durdle Door for 3 hours at your own pace but with plenty of information and maps to help you along the way.

Have a cream tea or fish and chips in one of the many tearooms, cafes or pubs in the village of West Lulworth.

The departure point in Bournemouth has great connections with trains and coaches making this a great day trip from London and the South East. 

Not just for the summer! This trip runs all year and provides an amazing day out, even in the depths of winter, just be sure to wrap up warm and look forward to a hot drink in one of the cosy pubs or cafes once you have blown the cobwebs out.
