These old photographs show Lulworth Cove over the years.
They were put together by the Lulworth Heritage Centre to form part of an historical perspective of the area.
Lulworth Cove is a stunning, scallop-shaped cove which was formed approximately 10,000 years ago by the power of water.
The pebble beach and blue waters of the cove make it an extremely popular destination.
The cove and surrounding countryside are hugely popular with walkers. You can walk to the cove along the South West Coast Path national trail.
This area of the Jurassic coast attracts approximately 500,000 visitors every year. Each year more than 200,000 walkers use the footpath between Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, making it the busiest stretch in the south west.
