The Name
Arish Mell is a beautiful bay nestling in a gap in the Chalk cliffs between Lulworth Cove and Kimmeridge Bay

Famous for centuries as a navigational landmark used by sailors to avoid the dangerous Kimmeridge Ledges

It is nowadays in the heart of the Lulworth Tank Ranges

It just happened to be the nearest bit of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast to our first ever Arish Mel Gig!
