The Lulworth area lies at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, and is popular with visitors attracted by the remarkable scenery, fine coastal walks and beautiful beaches. For the climber the main pull are the fantastic overhanging faces, juggy traverses and rock arches. The position of the cliffs perched above the sea not only adds atmosphere to the bolted climbing, but also allows great deep-water-soloing, for which the area has become renowned in recent years. On the eastern side of Lulworth Cove itself is another climbing area - the East Cliff, which has some worthwhile sport and trad pitches that usually involve spectacular roof climbing. To the west of Lulworth Cove lies a high ridge of steep pinnacles (Dungy Head) and a huge boulder on the seashore known as Church Rock. These provide a complete contrast in style, with generally easier, pocketed wall climbs that may be an attractive option when the arms can no longer lock-off at Stair Hole, or for those in search of easier grades and some piece-and-quiet. The final area is Durdle Door, with its famous and much-photographed arch, which is home to several sustained pump-outs.
