Bournemouth and Durdle Door Jurassic Full Day Private Tour
About this activity
Explore two of England's most dramatic coastal gems on this full-day private tour from London: the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, crowned by the iconic natural limestone archway of Durdle Door, plus the Victorian seaside charm of Bournemouth and hidden Lulworth Cove. Perfect for geology enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone seeking breathtaking English coastline beyond the capital.
Welcome to another great London away-day. You will travel through England's counties and countryside to Durdle Door. Here you will have a great time to explore the splendid rock formation that overlooks the English Channel with a beautiful, natural calcareous archway. Did you know that The Jurassic Coastline is a World Heritage Site in England? About 25 million years ago, the African tectonic plate hit the European plate causing huge pressure to build the alpine chain. A layer of hard calcareous stone, almost vertically out of the seabed, formed the Durdle Door itself. Heading to the east, we will reach the lovely beach city of Bournemouth. You will find plenty to see and do here. Bournemouth beach is the ideal location regardless of the weather or time of the year, whether it's chilling on a deckchair and walking along traditional seaside piers or a relaxing beach hut. Not only Bournemouth but also Lulworth Cove will amaze you with its natural wonder. Join us for a great day out!
