It’s Valentine Day so to celebrate 💕 take a look at Lulworth Castle which is within very easy walking distance of The Pink House. Built to entertain royalty, the stunning 17th century castle is set at the heart of the family-owned Lulworth Estate in extensive rolling parkland, with sea views, a 15th Centruy church and private Roman Catholic chapel in the grounds. Through history Lulworth Castle has played host to countless guests, including seven monarchs, and today it offers a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop for fairy tale weddings in a truly iconic setting on the Jurassic Coast. Weddings usually take place most Saturdays throughout the summer but otherwise the 12,000 acre Lulworth Estate Castle & Park is open every day to the public with woodland walks, peacocks roaming wild, croquet, archery, old fashioned games on the lawn and homemade cakes and refreshments on site at the Lulworth Castle Tea Rooms.
