Durdle Door

Our next destination was the coast and the Durdle Door scenic area. Durdle Door itself is a sea arch set amidst alternating cliffs and coves. It's quite attractive though, as one might expect, fairly over-run with visitors. And no comparison with Etretat, scenically, nor historically. Again, I'll just post some pix. One is of one of the islands off the coast, Portland, I think. Another is of some school kids, en field trip, playing off one of the rocks, in wet-suits, etc. Brave teachers. At the end is a coastal repast I concocted from the little seafood market on the main cove: mussels, scallops, cockles, and samphire, all in a garlic/butter/wine sauce. Samphire, the veggie, is pretty rare--collected from amongst the rocks and cliffs. Not at Tesco.
