Durdle Door was created when the sea pierced through the Portland limestone around 10,000 years ago and is now accessible via the South West Coast Path, from which it is a 15-minute walk down to the beach. By following this natural cliff path or the steps to Man O&#8217;War Beach, the tilted Purbeck Beds are clearly visible, and at the base of the chalk cliffs, many caves can be seen carved out by the sea (wave-cut notches).<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.5s\">You won&#8217;t regret coming here. From rock-pooling, walking to coasteering, photography to nature walks or enjoying the stunning views, there&#8217;s plenty to do and see for all ages.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--top-right\" width=\"622\" height=\"378\" viewBox=\"0 0 622 378\"
