Self-catering holidays in West Lulworth would be incomplete without a trip to the Castle Inn, a charming 16th-century inn with a thatched roof and a pretty courtyard. Stop for lunch and enjoy a delicious pie or Sunday roast prepared with the best local ingredients. The village has several interesting landmarks to look out for, including the tiny Doll's House, once home to 11 people. Nearby is a mill pond, the remains of an old watermill. A stroll away from the village, Lulworth Cove results from the remarkable way the sea has eroded the cliffs over thousands of years. The beach is horseshoe-shaped with a narrow channel to the open sea, perfect for swimming in its calm, clear water. There is a good cafe near the beach, and in the summer, you can take a boat trip to Durdle Door and Mupe Bay. West Lulworth is also a gateway to the Jurassic Coast, a world heritage site with incredible geology and dinosaur fossils to discover.
