Lulworth Cove — Attraction in Great Britain

Lulworth Cove is part of a stunning world heritage site with amazing panoramic views and crystal clear water. It is open every day and attracts thousands of visitors every year. The village is located at the bottom of the hill and at the main town roadabout only locals are allowed to use the road and is shut off with a barrier. I personally didn't mind this as it stops people trying to drive down the narrow road and parking closer to the beach. There are double yellows but this still wouldn't stop some people from blocking the roads. The cove is located down a slight steep street that has several ice cream parlours and cafés. Some of the food is overpriced but I guess this is because the locals make a living from the tourism. The cove itself is a pebbled beach which can be difficult to walk on for those who are unsteady on their feet. The cove was formed by the combined forces of the sea and a river swollen by melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age. It is world famous for its unique geology and landforms including the Lulworth Crumple and Stair Hole. When you visit just stop and look because you wouldn't have see anything like it. I read the reviews about Lulworth Cove before visiting and alot of people complained about parking charges. I thought I would enquire about this and I found the following - Parking charges do apply all year round. Funds raised from this helps to keep the area tidy, clean and safe. Which I think is great because without this tourism would destroy this beautiful site. It is surprising how many people leave their rubbish on the floor than the bins provided.

This is an amazing place for water sports if you are looking for that as you get a variety of it to do there like kayaking, boating, cruises, pedal boards and you get to hire sun parasol, beach towel, bucket and spade set, goggles and snorkels. There are facilities for cafes and toilets, staff at tickets are cooperative. You get to explore the cliff and the 185- millions year-old history of it. You get a bus from wool to this place and can visit Durdle Door after a short hike of approximately 25-30 minutes. I choose to give 3 stars rating because of the transport issues which many would be facing on their visit. You don't get buses quite often and have to wait for longer. And when you get one, your train timings may cause delays in your journey back. The last train on weekends leaves by 7:14 and earlier on weekdays. If by any chance you stayed longer there and missed the bus, it's gonna be a hustle as you have to look for hotels to stay or hire a private taxi. You can't even think of walking to the nearest train station, which is wool train station as it takes 1 hour and 48 minutes by walk and you won't be having energy left by end of the day for this. I missed the bus only by a few minutes, and the next bus was the next day in the morning. Luckily, I managed to get a lift to the station. However, i would say that the local authorities should work to manage more accessible public...
