Durdle Door

Durdle Door was caused by weaker rock eroding faster than the harder igneous rock. The headland (the arch) is formed of very hard resistant rock, hence why it is still standing today. The arch is a product of hydraulic action. The air and water would smash into the rocks and create cracks, eventually splits in the cliff, caves, small arches, then finally, something as spectacular as Durdle Door.

Despite Durdle Door being a beautifully charming location, it has hosted my many guests. For example, Cliff Richard, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson and Pink Floyd have filmed there, along with many others. The cast on Nanny McPhee have filmed a section of the film on Durdle Door beach.


The video pictures of the video stills I have embedded are from Cliff Richards 1990 Christmas hit, 'Saviour's Day'. This video can be a direct link to our music video as it is using exactly the same location and for the same purpose.

Having been to the location itself, it seems very suitable, often people do not go all the way down to the beach, because of the very dangerously steep walk down/up to and from the beach. People don't tend to stay very long as the tides change very quickly on the beach itself. Hopefully filming should not be disturbed my people too much.
