The beach on the Jurassic Coast is known for its unique natural limestone arch. The world-famous Durdle Door arch formed over millions of years by erosion caused by the crashing sea. The beach is a popular spot with approximately 500,000 visitors going to see the impressive coastline every year. While it may be the only UK beach on the list, Durdle Door has been likened to beaches overseas, especially in the summer. In recent years, beach-goers have taken to Tripadvisor to rave about the Durdle Door that they've likened to beaches in Portugal or California. One person wrote: "Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door: Reminded me of the Algarve in Portugal!" Another added: "You don't feel like you are in the UK. It seems more like Portugal or California." Durdle Door is such a famous beach that it's even been used in TV series. In recent years, TV shows like Doctor Who and Far From the Madding Crowd have also been filmed on the beach.

The beach has also welcomed the likes of Hollywood when it was used as the backdrop for Pirates of the Caribbean. The village nearest to Durdle Door is West Lulworth, a beautiful village known for its thatched cottages and window boxes. Assistant Travel Editor Sophie Swietochowski visited Durdle Door, and revealed that it's actually like. Sophie said: "Despite the Jurassic Coast being one of the most well-known spots for rambling in the UK, it has managed to remain gloriously peaceful. "I barely passed another soul during a Sunday hike along the rugged coastal path above Durdle Door a few years back – only a herd of cows munching on the unkempt grass at the top of the cliff. "Admittedly, things grew a little busier as I approached Lulworth Cove. "But that's no surprise with a horseshoe-shaped pebble bay and turquoise waters that could rival those in the Caribbean." These are the six cleanest beaches in the UK where you can safely swim in the sea this summer. Plus the world's best beaches with one in the UK making the list – alongside Thailand and Bahamas. 14 Iconic Beaches By National Geographic Hoshizuna-No-Hama Beach, Japan Reynisfjara, Iceland Elafonisi Beach, Greece Butiama Beach, Tanzania Durdle Door, England Pantai Merah, Indonesia Anse Chastanet, St. Lucia Baía do Sancho, Brazil Bowman's Beach, United States Anse Source d'Argent, Seychelles Praia da Marinha, Portugal Papakōlea Beach, United States Chesterman Beach, Canada Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Bring Me the Horizon fans just finding out band got name from 'inspiring' film
Bring Me the Horizon - the British rock band formed in 2004 - have released several albums and singles over the years, but not everyone knows the history behind their band name They've scooped up seven Kerrang! Awards and have been in the running for two Grammy Awards, yet some fans of Bring Me the Horizon are still scratching their heads over the origins of the band's striking name. The Sheffield-born rockers, comprising Oli Sykes, Matt Nicholls, Lee Malia, and Matt Kean, burst onto the scene in 2004 and dropped their first album 'Count Your Blessings' just a couple of years on. Since their early days, they've soared in popularity, becoming a staple for many who adore pop rock. Hits like 'Can You Feel My Heart', 'Drown', 'It Never Ends', 'Shadow Moses', 'Sleepwalking', 'The House of Wolves', 'Chelsea Smile', 'Throne', and 'Diamonds Aren't Forever' have cemented their status among the genre's heavyweights. Yet, the tale behind their moniker remains a mystery to some, prompting a curious soul on Quora to pose the question: "How did Bring Me the Horizon get their name?" Frontman Oli Skyes credits a moment from ' Pirates of the Caribbean ' as their muse, revealing to Spin: "Right at the end of the film - it might even be the very last line - Johnny Depp says, 'Bring me that horizon.' That was really inspiring." He reminisced about his youth in Sheffield, England, saying, "I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world." Their dreams of globetrotting seemed far-fetched, but it was what they yearned for. Skyes added, "We never thought doing that was possible, but that's what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer." However, the band also flirted with the idea of a photography-themed moniker. He quipped: "This Evidence in 8x10s, which could refer either to photographs or pieces of lumber. It may be the worst band name ever. It's good we didn't use it." A Reddit user was intrigued by this tidbit, commenting: "Today I learnt the band Bring Me the Horizon is named after the final line from the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, 'Now, bring me that horizon'." Another chimed in with: "Scene kid pop quiz trivia." A third reminisced: "I remember seeing this band at various gigs in the North West, in front of 50 people maximum when there were first band on. I remember them nearly getting booed off stage in Manchester too. "They never struck a chord with me and personally, I saw fame change Oli Sykes, but hats off to them for their success and keeping the original Yorkshire crew together after all these years." And yet another added nostalgically: "Man, it has already been 10 years since I saw those guys live in Hamburg...."
