The Lulworth Estate is a country estate located in central south Dorset, England. Its most notable landscape feature is a five-mile stretch of coastline on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, including Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.
The historic estate includes the Lulworth Castle and park.[1] The landscaped gardens are Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[2] The castle was residence to the Weld family until 1929 when it was ravaged by fire.[3]
The 12,000-acre (4,900 ha) estate is predominantly owned by the Weld family, who have lived there for several generations.[4] The Lulworth Estate was once part of a grander estate under Thomas Howard, 3rd Viscount Howard of Bindon.[5]
