Man O'War Beach
On your second day, you'll be heading west, where the first stop is the iconic Durdle Door and the scenic Man O'War Bay. Breathe in the morning breeze of the English Channel.
Hiking at Man O'War Bay is best in the early morning. You'll enjoy lots of fresh air, not too many tourists, and great views.

Durdle Door
Durdle Door is a well-known, and probably one of the most photographed, natural landmarks of the South Coast of the UK. There's also a delightful beach, but I suggest going a bit further to the west to get the best view of this rock formation from above.

Lulworth Castle
Lulworth Castle, located just 15 minutes from the Cove, was built in the 17th century. Originally, it was a hunting lodge for the aristocracy and royalty. For centuries it has been owned by the Weld family, who are still the owners of the Estate. The surrounding grounds are great for walking or having a lovely picnic.
Make sure to check the opening hours during your dates, on the official website.

The beautiful seaside town of Weymouth is known for its delicious pubs, restaurants and cafés, so you won't have any trouble finding a lunch spot there.
If you're a seafood fan, Weymouth is the place to be – many of its restaurants serve fresh fish and crab caught the previous night.
