Drawn to the water
The reward for climbing the steep chalk cliffs surrounding Lulworth Cove is this breathtaking view ....
With the sun shining and the sky and sea so blue it is a beautiful scene that takes some beating!
Some of the gorse bushes are in flower, but we have noticed that much of the habitat close to the shore along the South West coast has suffered more salt-burn this year from the winter storms.
Shall we take a walk along the beach?
The shingle is not the easiest surface to walk on, but it makes you notice the lovely contrast in the colour of the pebbles.
And just sitting on the beach taking in the scenery is always a good way to recharge the batteries of life!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

Well, I can say I just lived life for a few moments! Thank you for the breathtaking views and sound of the water lapping at the shingle. Isn't it grand that we can record these moments now and share them! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's breathtakingly beautiful. I do so love that part of the world, I'm glad you had a lovely visit. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWell Sarah, I think my breath has been taken away climbing back up those steps! Seriously, I feel like I've just been on holiday, the sound of the ocean, and those beautiful pictures. Thank you for taking us there. Jane
ReplyDeleteThe walk back was through the village so I'm glad I didn't have to attempt to go back the steps! Sarah x
DeleteThank you for always bringing me the ocean sweet Sarah and Daisy! I long to be near the ocean, and you always share the most stunning northern shores. HUGS, Anita
ReplyDeleteThose first couple of shots are absolutely fantastic Sarah. It looks so calm. And blue!
ReplyDeleteOh SO beautiful! You must be so peaceful living by the sea. I always feel restored when I get some sea air- I like it best, walking along alone for hours! If it's a little bit blustery and chilly, that's also nice as well as hot!x
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful, what a wonderful walk, thank you for sharing. xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sarah, just setting on the beach and taken I the lovely scenery and the sounds of the serene waves would certainly recharge my spirit. Loved the video hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteWhenever I read your posts and see your lovely photos I want to move to England! Then I remember all the rain & fog and change my mind - LOL Beautiful visit, thanks Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThere are many days of sunshine too as you can see! Sarah x
DeleteSarah, what wonderful impressions - now I know again, why holidaycottages in Dorset are so expensive!;))

Lovely photographs. I like seeing the gorse breaking into flower.
ReplyDeleteDorset is so pretty, who needs to go abroad when we have Dorset. Beautiful pictures as always.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful sea. xxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little cove, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures on what looks like a perfect day - how lucky are you to be in the vicinity of such wonderful scenery.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a wonderful place Sarah. Thanks for taking us on the walk with you :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful lagoon! Thank you for the video that shows the true dimensions of the place.
ReplyDeleteWish I was there *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLovely photos as always!
So beautiful and peaceful! It looks like you almost had the place to yourself. Best wishes, Pj x
ReplyDeleteThere's nowhere quite like it - almost like a cove on a desert island I always think. I studied it for Geography 'A' level too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so quiet and peaceful there, especially on such a sunny day. I love the pebbles, they almost look like a drawing they're so perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow the walk to the top was so worth it that view is magical!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly breathtaking! I am drawn to the water, too and have really enjoying your photos! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteLulworth Cove is so beautiful - a little bit of paradise in Dorset.
ReplyDeleteGood morning special friend! Thank you so much Sarah, for coming to visit my post. I am getting better little by little, but to be dizzy for over a month has its challenges! How a nice walk along the shore would help me! XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteThe chalk cliffs are beautiful! I had never heard of salt-burn before, but of course the sea water would damage the plants it comes in contact with. It's funny how sometimes the most obvious things can escape me! You can tell I haven't lived near the sea. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat really is the most perfect little beach. I'd love to visit one day. Happy weekend. Juliex
ReplyDeleteTotally stunning - looks like the Mediterranean ! Walking on shingle is quite a work out for the legs !
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful views, Sarah. I could easily spend hours just gazing at all that blue sky and sea!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, the cliffs are stunning and what a beautiful blue sea.
ReplyDeleteWe spent a wonderful week based in Lulworth Cove four years ago and as luck would have it the weather was perfect and we had the most amazing time. I fell in love with the place instanly the moment I saw it and even better I discovered some of my ancestors are from Dorset though how on earth they could leave such a beautiful place I dont know!
ReplyDeleteI have not been to Lukworth for 30 years but your blog brought it back to me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - especially in Spring when the crowds aren't there. We foolishly went in mid August on a scorching hot day, huge crowds, no sunglasses against the chalky glare, no sunhats, and were defeated by the climb after just one or two steps!
ReplyDeleteSo it's lovely to see what we missed!
All the best :)
Gorgeous! And so different from the last time I was there x
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a most beautiful place! I can almost smell the sea by looking at the photos...
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along with you, on your visit to the beautiful seaside. I loved seeing the gorgeous blue ocean, the sky and enjoyed the video.
Wishing you a happy new week
hugs
Carolyn
Thanks. I was feeling the need for some seaside with no time to get there. You gave me just the vision of blue I needed.
ReplyDeleteYour beach is much different than ours, but just as beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, tranquil place.
