Lulworth has got its very own butterfly! The "Lulworth Skipper" was discovered near

 

Durdle Door in 1832. Why not have a go at trying to see one on the hills whilst having a walk along the cliffs and countryside? Lulworth has a long history of human activity, and its rich archaeological heritage is evident in the ancient field systems and burial mounds. Since 1641, Lulworth has been part of the Weld Estate which also includes Lulworth Castle (open to the public) and the Lulworth Equestrian Centre. There is public access to many parts of the Estate and a number of pamphlets for self-guided walks are available at the Heritage Centre and Castle. Today, Lulworth attracts over half a million visitors each year. In such an important and environmentally sensitive area, careful management is required to minimize the effect of this pressure. The importance of Lulworth is reflected in the numerous designations such as SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and Heritage Coast, which help to conserve its unique natural heritage.
