East Lulworth is a small village and civil parish in Dorset, England, sitting on the eastern side of the Isle of Purbeck. Set a short distance inland from the UNESCO‑listed Jurassic Coast, it lies amid rolling chalk downland and farmland and provides easy access to dramatic coastal features such as Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.
The parish is centred on the landscaped estate around Lulworth Castle, historically the seat of the Weld family, and its economy is largely shaped by agriculture and tourism, with walkers and geology enthusiasts using the village as a quiet gateway to the coast. The nearby Lulworth Ranges, an active Ministry of Defence firing area, occasionally restrict access to parts of the shoreline, contributing to a slightly secluded, close‑knit community character.
