Quick facts
A natural limestone arch stands in the sea on Dorset's Jurassic Coast, one of the best-known sights on a World Heritage coastline.
A cliff-top path of about 900 m and roughly 140 wooden steps leads down to the beach beneath the arch, with the sheltered Man O' War Cove just over the headland.
The coast path runs about 1.5 miles from Lulworth Cove to the arch with a steep climb between them, and on towards the chalk cliffs of Bat's Head.
