Man o' War Cove, West Lulworth
Man o' War Rocks are the eastward extension of the near-vertical Portland Stone bed that makes up Durdle Door. Further on, the bed forms the vertical face of Dungy Head, and the cliffs that hem in Lulworth Cove. The coves, and the eroded area behind Dungy Head, consist of soft Wealden beds, while the main cliff-line is formed by relatively hard Upper Greensand, oxidised to orange above St Oswald's Bay. Behind this is chalk downland.
