Tuesday October 16th

Today we visited the Jurassic coastline for about a 3 mile walk including an 100 metre incline around Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. 




The wind was quite strong today, but we managed to stay upright!  We paused on the gravelly beach for a while before heading back to the car. 




We travelled along to Portland, and we had a short walk around Portland Bill, which was the name of the lighthouse.  We stopped off at a little place called “The Lobster Pot” where we had some lunch before continuing on to Portland Castle, which was really an artillery fort built by Henry VIII.

Apparently, if we'd have gone down into the valley beyond this point, we would have been in a place called “Scratchy Bottom”...!!
