Stair Hole - West Lulworth, Dorset - a photo on Flickriver

Stair Hole - West Lulworth, Dorset

            A little further along this coastline is a much photographed landmark rock formation called Durdle Door,  where erosion has carved a large circular hole through an outlying rock formation. Here on the coast at West Lulworth is another less celebrated example of those forces of erosion called Stair Hole. 

A quick google gives this description of the location:
"Small tidal pool with rock arches, pillars & caves formed by water erosion on limestone rock."

That's a good summary of what it is but it doesn't describe the amazing stratification found in these limestone cliffs that make up the jurassic coast in this part of Dorset. It's stunning.
