They persuaded me to keep on, and at last stranded me on the pebbles, exactly opposite the magnificent arch of Durdle-rock Door. Here I stood and contemplated with astonishment and pleasure this stupendous piece of Nature's work ..... John O'Keefe, 1792.
Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast near West Lulworth in Dorset.
At Durdle bay all except a short stretch of the limestone has been completely eroded away by the sea and the remainder forms a small headland where it has protected the clay behind. At the western end this band of limestone has been eroded through, creating the natural arch.
Parts of the Tears For Fears video for Shout were filmed at Durdle Door.
