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.

Comfortable and no rush tour with our guide Darren, who was enthusiastic and accommodating. He made our trip even better with his concern for us and his sense of humour! The trip in itself was a great experience with the sun shining bright, although we could've carried more food and water. Easy enough for children and people with low mobility.

Paul was a fantastic tour guide who shared lots of knowledge with humor. The sights were breathtaking and it was a decent amount of moving and resting. Plus we had enough free time to check out things on our own. Definitely recommend doing this tour - you won’t regret it!

The beach itself is clean and peaceful, perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or having a quick swim if the weather allows. If you’re doing a tour, make sure you get enough time to explore both Durdle Door and nearby Lulworth Cove – both are gems. Lindsey made the trip worth it.

Amazing day with marvelous views. Our tour guide Paul was fantastic. It's a must tour if you coming to Bournemouth. Best to go on a sunny day. Keep plenty of water. It's a rock beach on durdle door and the water is crystal clear.
