The next morning, the wind having been very light, we ran into a little harbour of rare beauty called Lulworth Cove.  The entrance is very narrow, with rugged abrupt cliffs rising far above the mast-head; and when we were once in we appeared to be in a perfect basin, the sides consisting of high white walls towering to the sky, with cottages in an opening on one side; while the sandy bottom could almost be seen through the tranquil water, clear as crystal.  The cliffs consist of Portland stone.  The strata in some places have a curious appearance, resembling huge twisted trees.  In one side are caves of various sizes, and here also fossils in great numbers are found.  Landing, we walked about two miles to Lulworth Castle, belonging to Mr Edward Weld, the son of the owner of the celebrated yachts the Lulworth and Alarm.  The castle is a square-shaped building, with a tower at each corner; it has long, narrow windows, and is handsomely fitted up.  Both James the First and Charles the Second at different times inhabited it, as did several later sovereigns down to William the Fourth.  It formerly belonged to Cardinal Weld, who left it to his brother, the late owner.
