Before leaving this morning, we walked down to the cove. Lulworth cove has always been one of our favourite places and we've lost count how many times we've visited over the years.
Sadly, it has quite quickly become a victim of commercialism. Boat trips, ice cream parlours, cafes, hotels, a visitor centre with cafe and beautiful cottages, the locals now priced out, our all-holiday lets. Thankfully, we can see past all this and remember the area in the 'old days', about five years ago when there was one cafe, one ice cream parlour a gift shop, hotel and public toilets. Strip all this 'it's what the visitors want' away and you still have rolling countryside, a beautiful coastline, fantastic geology and beautiful walks. Oh, and be warned. campervans and motorhomes parking is, a mere twenty pounds, how ever long you stay. Fortunately we know where the free parking is.
By lunchtime we were back in Poole at Aldi restocking Marge. Then home to put on a wash and take a shower. The weather was perfect for a washday, warm and windy and within three hours we were back in Marge and on our way to Sussex. Tonight, Marge is located above a beach of shingle.
