The morning air tastes of salt and chalk as the executive vehicle eases along the South West Coast Road. Windows frame stacked cliffs that slope into the sea; gulls ride the thermals while the driver picks out lay-bys and viewpoints. You step out at Durdle Door, where a limestone arch juts from surf that seems to test every tide, and the wind seems to dare you to linger.
