I’m 95 and now live in Ontario, Canada, but as a child, in the 1930s and 1940s, I was lucky enough to live in Sandbanks, near this beautiful spot. It was unspoiled and certainly not the crowded and over-commercialized area you show in this beautiful vlog. I have the fondest memories of sitting on the pebbled beach with my parents drinking Tizer and once in a while a Walls ice cream from a man with a bicycle-type freezer chest. During the Second World War much of this area was out of bounds of course, but right up until I emigrated to Canada in April 1952, it was undeveloped and beautiful. It was one of the last places I visited before I left, and when I returned ten years later I hardly recognized my lovely Lulworth Cove. Happy days indeed. John, Ontario, Canada.
My family lived in Martin, near Fordingbridge, and we used to go to Sandanks in the 60s during the summer holidays. Happy days indeed. I still visit Lulworth and Durdle Door occasionally. Usually best in autumn or winter - exhilarating weather and hardly any people.
Hello John, lovely to hear from you and the interesting comment on your experiences in Durdle Door. So glad it stirs memories of your times there. Take Care All the best.
Hi, Nice video. How can I got there from London.? I would like know the easiest and most economic way to get there. Do you think that I can go from London to sandbanks and sandbanks to durdle door ? Thanks.
Thank you so much.❤❤❤ We visited these places of stunning beauty yesterday. We are Ukrainians that fled from the war. This scenery reminded us of Crimea, our Ukrainian picturesque Crimea that Russia stole from us.💙💛
What an absolutely perfect job you did of this video. It has brought tears to my eyes in the best of ways. Both my Father and Granddad were born and raised in Dorset. We would travel there as often as we could from Reading, where we lived when l was growing up. in 1973 l got pretty sick and for convalescing we traveled to Durdle Door caravan park for a weeks holiday in the what was then very quiet Dorset countryside. Whilst there Dad and Grandad bought a static caravan that was up for sale and the rest is history. As you walked the pathways both down to the door and Lulworth cove, l was walking them with you. Memories flooding back of oh so many walks and fun filled days. Back then it wasn't as busy and there were no steps down into Man O War bay or to Durdle door beach. Just a rugged and very steep cliff path. I now live 5000 miles away in SW Washington State where l see Mt St Helens and Mt Hood daily instead of the Dorset Downs. My family say how lucky l am to live here. ...Give me Dorset any day. Especially Durdle Door. Thanks also for your Scotland videos. Hubby and l are heading there this September and we will go to many of the places you visited. Your videos are so informative and helpful for the future traveler. Many good wishes to you both and just keep the videos coming. Love them all.
Next years Countryfile calendar features a fabulous picture of either sunrise or sunset (cant remember which) taken with the sun shining through the arch at Lulworth Cove, and reflected on the water.
Lulworth cove was famously feature in Hardy’s Far from the madding frosted (called Lulwind Cove in the novel). Visited it a few years ago. Going back again after seeing this video and staying at the shepherds hut while pretending to be Farmer Oak! Love love love your videos!
Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful place. I loved the cozy shepherd’s hut. Hopefully one day I will get to see these wonderful places in person but for now I am so enjoying your videos.
Hi Simon & Will, stunning scenery along this part of the coast is well captured in the video. A bit surreal seeing those cruise ships anchored off the coast.
Hi Andy, lovely coastline our first time there. Just beautiful. I wonder if the ships have now sailed? There were many anchored for a long time along the coast.
Thank you for this walk and visit. You take me to places that I will never physically get to. You are encouraging me to get out and about here in New Zealand as our scenery is stunning too. Again thank you.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
The scenery is stunning, beautifully filmed. Missing home! I love the quaint Brit bed and breakfast places to stay. Amazing a tiny house can be rented out to guests with all the mod cons. So pretty. Your narration is so professional and always very informative. Thank you
Beautiful weather! And who was so dedicated that they filmed the hut so early in the mist? I love the hut. I want one! Absolutely stunning shots of the coast, thank you.
So nice to see people’s out and about enjoying life once more . Lovely part of the country . Once again a very informative and extremely well put together vlog . Loved the dolls house & all those other Beautiful cottages. Many thanks 🙏
Yes it was nice to be out. Quite busy, but then it was good weather and one of the top places people visit on the Jurassic coast so you just have to go with it and enjoy it along with everyone else!
During the peak of pandemic area overun with people breaking lockdown ,like local Bournemouth beach bad enough as toilets closed. Bringing in high infection rates,and tons of litter.and idiot's jumping off cliff needing the use of air ambulance, truly the worst of the worst. Dorset welcomes tourists it's one of the main incomes. So many miles of sandy beaches cleaned and managed ,as a local you can enjoy other areas so much more out of season .
we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part or the world Dorset has some much to off. thanks for sharing my friend Stay safe and welcome to the channel Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
My favorite place again, so far! And I really thought that the Isle of Skye was my favorite place! Just absolutely beautiful and stunning! The sort of place that I would live in quite happily! Although I am not sure about how cold it gets in this particular part of England during the winter months! But I just adored this place, truly! Well done indeed again! Thank you!
Bournemouth protected by the purbeck hills bit of a micro climate national weather forecasting team just can't predict it, beyond swanage let's say only bad clothes not weather, probably still warmer and more blue skys than any where else in Britain. But don't tell everyone else .
The scenery is perfectly beautiful! I love the shepherd's hut you stayed in. It was absolutely adorable. Thank you for another fun adventure! I love traveling with y'all!
What a pretty area that was. Very worth the walk I think. It’s just so peaceful looking. Loved your little room that was so charming. Thanks so much for taking in me along. Please stay safe and take care
What a wonderful place and video. Whilst it is a logical thing and I am not complaining I wonder if anyone can answer if it is usually as crowded all year round.
Another fantastic video. I lived in weymouth a few years ago and visited durdle door a couple of times. I never seemed to get around to putting my video footage of durdle door or weymouth on here. Glad you have a bit more enthusiasm than me.
Just like to say, we really enjoy your videos Memory Seekers. They are informative & interesting providing us with a collection of locations we would like to visit very soon! Great travel guides!!
Hey guys, just loving your travel videos. I'm currently planning a 9 week holiday through the UK - you have given me so many great ideas, probably too many LOL. Thanks again x
Hello Scott, thanks for the lovely comment. What a fantastic trip you will have in 9 weeks! Glad we have given you some ideas to make it outstanding! Fingers crossed for good weather, something you cannot plan for. All the best.
This brings back happy memories in the late 50s and early 60s my dads brother had two caravans at Durdle Door camp site and the three of us use to walk down to the beach most evenings ,I think my first memories of of Lulworth Cove was watching a paddle steamer coming in to the cove called the consul with day trippers from Weymouth as I said wonderful memories that have stayed with me all these years ps love your videos keep up the great work
Oh thank you! More lovely memories! Your presentation is fantastic! Pictures and speaking! I only found your RU-vid channel yesterday and can see you've produced loads of videos....places I've experienced and am glad to revisit, plus new places I'm glad to learn about. I can enjoy these when I rest each day. Good for my mental health. Thank you. I can't thank you enough. Just what I needed. Take care please.
Love the cosy Sheppard's hut accommodation, I thank you for all the information about this area, years since I visited, so seeing it again along with the info made it most interesting to me, I think your videos would be ideal for schools, especially the dates and how they use to live then, the young ones don't realise how lucky they are, I do enjoy the very detailed videos you produce, have learnt a few things myself, my sincere thanks to you and friend for a very entertaining video, Thank you.
@@MemorySeekers thank you so much for such a prompt reply. I'm planning to spend 2-3 days in Dorset and maybe see Stonehenge on the way (from London) and Salisbury cathedral, and spend a day in Winchester on the way back.
I took my eldest son here in September… the weather was 90f the scenery breathtaking and I swam in Durdle door. An incredible getaway and what a coastline !! The water colour was akin to Greece . Thanks for a great vlog
Spot of power once I've nearly slid off the cliff and drowned whilst fam was sitting on the shore thinking Im having a blast I f#*kin did like a spider crawling out of that precarious situation)
Beautiful film in a beautiful setting. Also a very nice accommodation with a good presentation. I regret that I was born in the Netherlands, haha! I hope I get to see more movies because at my age I will never go there again. Thank you !
It's changed a lot since I was there in the army in the 1950s. At that time there were no crowds, we had the beaches and paths to ourselves and a pint of scrumpy in the pub cost a shilling.
Haha we try to get away most weekends otherwise we would run out of videos to share with you. We also just find it helps get though the working week! We managed to film Shaftesbury and Durdle Door that weekend which helped!
Das war wieder eine wunderschöne Reise mit Euch🙏 mit detaillierten Erklärungen👍Die Kühe 🐄🐄🐄waren ja sehr lieb. Der romantische Hirten Wagen war zwar klein hatte aber alles was man braucht und der Ausblick und die Umgebung.... Für Augen und Seele eine Erholung 🥰Vielen Dank fürˋs mitnehmen ,liebe Grüße und voll Vorfreude auf Euer nächstes Video🙋♀️🇩🇪
Hallo zusammen, wir hatten so ein erholsames Wochenende in der Hirtenhütte, klein aber sehr gemütlich und alles was wir wirklich brauchten. Nachts, wenn das Feuer brannte, war es still bis auf das Knistern und das seltsame Rascheln einiger nachtaktiver Tiere. Einfach wunderbar!
Mudfossil (giant antediluvian horse)? I visited here when I was just 17. I’ve since noted various rock formations throughout the world as relics of former age. There’s an elephant rock off Iceland, hills and mountains that look like resting humans...makes sense when you ponder Genesis 6. Roger Spurr at Mudfossil University talks about the pickling process of soft flesh during the flood. The world is more than we know.
Oh my gosh it's got busy - I s'pose busier than a few years back with folk staycationing? Very well presented and certainly shows much of what there's to be found. Glad the cattle got their tea - tend to be the most curious of creatures!! Keep safe & thanks for taking us to the best places.
@@MemorySeekers entonces estamos en paises equivocados tendriamos que hacer un intercambio muchaaaaa graciaas por su hermoso video Sonia Guerrero😁😁😁😁😁🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
