Durdle Door Coastal Retreat
A 1-night, story-rich, cosy camping pod trip inspired by Enid Blyton’s "The Rubadub Mystery."
Escape into elemental wonder on this story-rich retreat inspired by Enid Blyton’s “The Rubadub Mystery.” Based in cosy camping pods near the iconic Durdle Door, this two-night journey blends coastal adventure, literary reflection, and soulful connection.
Day 1: We begin by visiting Stair Hole, a dramatic cove carved by time into folded washboard cliffs and natural arches, where swirling patterns and whirlpools echo the wild spirit of Blyton’s mystery tales.
After Dinner we'll chase the sunset, soaking in sea air and stirring beauty of the coastline that once sparked Blyton’s imagination.
Day 2: With a hearty breakfast to start the day, we take a steady, slow walk down to Lulworth Cove. From here we journey by boat to Durdle Door, experiencing the archways and quiet coves from the sea, a perspective that invites reflection, imagination and awe.
Afterward, we’ll stop at the local gift shop and share one final meal, and create our own 'storyboard' from our adventure, before the journey home.
This retreat is for those who feel the call of the coast, A chance to pause, and be inspired, to return home taking both story and sea within you.
Note: All key expenses are included. Full payment is required before our adventure begins, or on arrival at Somers Legacy Headquarters, before we head off.
