Weitere Informationen

Stair Hole is a cove in the early stages of developement and is in the process of forming to the West of Lulworth Cove, in Dorset. It has the same wave resistant barrier of limestone as that found in Lulworth Bay, but which has been breached and slowly eroded to form caves, one of which has collapsed and created an inlet. The sea flows through these openings into a small tidal lagoon which is backed by Wealdon clay and sand on the landward side. Erosion of this softer material has caused landslides, and so Stair Hole is gradually becoming enlarged. At the eastern and western sides of Stair Hole are high rocky cliffs where the underlying rock strata have been dramatically revealed to show the distinctive tilted “Lulworth Crumple”, which is an outstanding example of a limestone rock formation that has been created by geological land folding.
