Bat's Head

Bat's Head

Bat's Head is a chalk headland on the Dorset coast in southern England, located between Durdle Door to the east and White Nothe to the west.

There is a small but very visible cave at the base of the headland known as Bat's Cave. A spectacular path, part of the South West Coast Path, runs along the coast through rolling green downland countryside to the north of Bat's Head.
