		Durdle Door (sometimes spelt Durdle Dor) is a natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast near West Lulworth in Dorset, England.
		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.
		Durdle Door is a popular tourist "honeypot," as it is a short walk from the equally popular Lulworth Cove, and lies on the South West Coast Path.
