Climbing at Lulworth
For the safety and environmental reasons given below climbing is NOT allowed on the Lulworth Estate coastline – this includes ‘tombstoning’. Although the cliffs at Lulworth look inviting for climbers there are several good reasons not to climb here:
Climbing can be dangerous for the public on the beach below- Members of the public copy professional climbers, but without the right equipment and training they often become stuck on the cliffs and require Coastguard assistance
- Climbers remove loose rock and plants from the cliffs to make the climb ‘safer’. This damages the cliff habitat which is protected by law
- Tombstoning into shallow water from Durdle Door arch has already resulted in life threatening injury – do not be the next
The Lulworth Estate thank you for respecting their decision not to allow climbing
