Stunning natural bridges




Pont d’Arc, France

A stone arch in France is the site of a charming village, Vallon-Pont d’Arc, named for the bridge. The Pont d’Arc (“bridge arc”) stone formation stands over the Ardeche River at the entrance to Gorges de l'Ardeche, where visitors can access the river.

Azure Window, Island of Gozo, Malta



 Nicknamed the “azure window,” since it appears as a window with the deep blue waters as a backdrop, the landmark is one of the most photographed sites on the island. The arch was formed thousands of years ago when two limestone caves collapsed.

The magificant Durdle Door arch and beach is part of the Lulworth Estate and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
You can access the shingle beach on foot via a path and steps over the hill from Lulworth Cove or down from the Car Park (located on the cliff top at Durdle Door Holiday Park.). The beach is recommended by the Marine Conservation Society for excellent water quality. The beach shelves steeply in places - please supervise your children at all times.
