Pulpit Rock — Attraction in Portland

Many people come to vist Portland Bill, and there is Pulpit Rock. This brilliant place to take pictures, listen to the waves crashing on the rocks. This landmark is become a symbolic of the island rich history of quarrying. There are beautiful views of the jurassic Coast, which is millions of years old. Much sea life, you might even get to see some seals. There is a lot of birdlife throughout the year. Many birds watchers come here daily. Many people climb to the top of the rock and fish, plus climbers climb around the rock. Small warming : if small children may be difficult to get down, I put 2 pictures and 1 video in the ways of getting down, as a lot of loose rocks. If the stones are wet, it can be slippery. There are a couple of gaps and 1 covered by bigger stones. I added pictures. So if you brave enough to climb Pulpit Rock, it does have foot holes, I see some people always run up there. PARKING This is gone up to £3 per hr.

We came down here in February and the waves were wild! Really fun seeing them crash up against the shelf and spill underneath (if you look through the cracks beneath your feet!) You have to scramble down some rocks/boulders to get to the shelf that Pulpit rock sits on - so not a journey for anyone with anyone unsteady on their feet. It does have some worn in foot holds to climb but be wary - there’s a sign clearly stating that the climb is at your own risk. We watched 2 people successfully scramble up so absolutely do-able but be careful of slippery rock where the tide has splashed up. Nearby paid car park and free toilets. Only takes a few minutes to walk down to from...

Breathtaking coastline at the tip of Portland and Dorset. The waves here can create some spectacular crashes against the stoney edifice that makes up Portland Bill and Pulpit rock.

You can climb the rock, there are some foot/hand holds up a steep slope, good footwear required and there is a warning that climbers do so at their own risk. However once up there it's exhilarating to say the least.

I wish I had checked my photosphere for errors before climbing down however as I don't fancy doing the climb up...
