Lulworth Cove - Geology

Lulworth Cove

A natural horse-shoe shaped harbour created 10,000 years ago.

Lulworth Cove was formed approximately 10,000 years ago by the awesome powers of a river and the sea. It continues to evolve behind a narrow Portland stone entrance as the softer Purbeck, Wealdon, Greensand and Chalk exposures are eroded.
