Magnificent View East of White Nothe This is the stunning view that greats you as you pass over the top of White Nothe on the coast path travelling East. Bat Head is the first headland you can see, which is actually over a mile from the photographers position. Above that and slightly inland of it, you can see the top of the darker limestone of Durdle Door and above that Dungy Head which obscures the entrance to Lulworth Cove. The headland in the far distance  (12 miles) is St. Aldhelm's Head
