Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic
Coast near Lulworth in Dorset, England. It is
privately owned by the Welds, a family who owns 12,000 acres in Dorset in the name of the Lulworth Estate. It is open to the
public. The name Durdle is derived from the Old English 'thirl' meaning bore or
drill. The limestone and chalk are in closer proximity at Durdle Door than at Swanage. Source
