This pretty part of the UK has been named as one of the best places to catch a sunset.
According to a new study by Auto Trader, Durdle Door in Dorset is one of the most popular places to watch the sun go down.
Auto Trader analysed over 50 popular viewpoints across the UK and Ireland to see where the best place to watch the sunset is.
It looked at the number of social media posts the areas each have, the hours of sunlight they get, annual rainfall and overall reviews to conclude the top spots.
Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photographed spots, known for its natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast.
The Dorset beauty spot ranked highly across social media, with 22,900 posts on TikTok and 327,000 on Instagram, making it the best place for a sunset.
It also ranked as the sunniest spot in the top 10 with over 1,904 annual hours of sunshine and just 117 days of rain.
In second place is Stonehenge which was famously built to align with the sun on the solstices. The historic landmark achieved a score of 251 out of 300.
The pre-historic wonder receives an average of 959,000 Google searches per month, with an online review score of 4.5 out of five, according to AllTrails.
Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader, comments: “The UK and Ireland boast beautiful scenery, making sunset hikes increasingly popular.
“This growing trend on social media has led to a significant surge of interest in visiting these locations.”
