Bats Head from White Nothe on the Jurassic coast in Dorset, UK.
From the eastern side of the tip of White Nothe a lot of this section of impressive chalk coastline can be seen. The chalk headland on the right is Bat's Head, with the top of Durdle Door (in shadow) sticking up above it. The headland beyond is Dungy Head, and in the far distance is the Isle of Purbeck coastline (Swyre Head, Houns-Tout cliff and St Aldhelm's Head). The long hill in the distance on the left is Bindon Hill, Lulworth Cove is in the gap to the right of this, and Hambury Tout is on the right of the gap.
