A short distance away lies Lulworth Cove, a horseshoe-shaped bay encased by limestone and chalk cliffs. Its clear, sparkling waters create a serene atmosphere that's picture-perfect.The final stop is Glastonbury, famous for its iconic festival but even more renowned for its history, myths, and spirituality.
