The name "Durdle" comes from the Anglo-Saxon "thirl", meaning a pierced hole or opening. There are five types of rocks found in these cliffs. Each of them was formed underwater and later tilted by the collision of continents. The hard Portland rock was breached by the sea, creating Durdle Door and the stacks that describe the coastline of 10,000 years ago. The softer rocks behind were washed away leaving an eroding line of chalk cliffs. Several holes can be seen in the rock above the arch, representing the fossilized remains of the cycad trees that grew here 147 million years ago.
