More info New parking charges at a stunning South West beauty spot have been slammed - with one visitor revealing they had to fork out as much as £25 to stay. Durdle Door, on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, attracts thousands of tourists each year. But one branded the parking prices as 'daylight robbery' after forking out an eye-watering sum, as reported by The Sun. Campervan driver Shane Waller, 51, from London told The Telegraph he had to fork out £25 after staying for an hour and 20 minutes. He said: “I love Lulworth Cove but the parking charges now are daylight robbery, it will suffer as a result of this." He also claimed a lack of signage upon arrival was "a bit naughty". Yet despite loving the area, Shane wasn't sure if he would come back again. The private estate that owns Durdle Door, Lulworth Estate, provides a run down of prices online. Visitors must pay £3.10 for an hour, £12.40 for between one and four hours - or £20 for the full day. But large vehicle drivers are required to cough up £10 for the first hour, £25 for between 1 and 4 hours, or £30 for the full day. It comes after Lulworth Estate increased its car parking charges by 66 per cent last month. The move has already proved unpopular. A Lulworth Estate spokesman said the parking charges were “fundamental in supporting our schools’ education programme, on-going care and projects to preserve the surrounding landscapes”. “This is a new car parking payment system that we have invested in over the winter, with the aim of it being more user friendly for our customers,” he said. “However, as with new systems some teething issues can be expected, albeit swiftly rectified. “We took the decision to increase our prices last summer after thorough research on other coastal and World Heritage destination access prices. “We have specific parking areas for vehicles over 5.5m in length as they take up more space for parking and manoeuvring and can make it harder for other vehicles to park, especially at peak times.” Durdle Door is under a three-hour drive from Devon and Bristol and just over an hour from Somerset. Two other beaches, Lulworth Cove and Man O'War Beach, are also a stone's throw away from Durdle Door.
