Another picture of the Lulworth Stairhole ... also known as the Lulworth Crumple! What you see is another cove being created next to Lulworth Cove. The breach has been made by collapsinig caves and arches. This has revealed the famous Lulworth Crumple, a complex fold formed by major earth movements that occurred in the same period that the Alps were formed.
