Durdle Door
Durdle Door, photographed on a dull day in August 2021.
The site was very busy with day-trippers, possibly because it was a Sunday in peak holiday season, the dull weather on this day meant that it was not a day for spending all day on the beach, so more holidaymakers were visiting places of interest instead, and more people were taking domestic holidays as the Covid-19 pandemic was making international travel more difficult.
