More about this scene

We are looking towards Stair Hole, where the downlands of Dorset meet the sea, is hollowed out by vast caverns, many used by smugglers for centuries.The South West Way Coastal Footpath, once an old coastguard route, gives excellent views over these wild headlands and coves.The beauty of Lulworth Cove has always attracted writers and artists. John Keats spent some of his last days in England here, and Thomas Hardy immortalised the cove in poems and novels.
