Quick facts

Swyre Head and Bat's Head lie west of Durdle Door, a short coast-path walk from the arch.

A small natural arch known as Bat's Hole sits at the foot of the chalk headland.

The cliff-top path is steeply undulating and runs close to the edge, so it suits walkers rather than a quick stroll.
