"Great spot with stunning views. Info boards broken which is a shame as it's an interesting place. Inside firing range so check for access (Search MOD lulworth ranges)"

"Such a stunning location to walk, it’s an easy walk with very little gradient from the whiteway hill car park. The views of Worbarrow bay is just beautiful. So so worth it!"
