Beautiful photo, but how is it fair that the British get this beautiful place and name it "durdle door"

“Durdle is derived from the Old English thirl, meaning to pierce, bore or drill, which in turn derives from thyrel, meaning hole.”

Oh I knew it was rooted in some old name but it just seemed like a dinky name for such a majestic place is all 😂

It’s not America, they’re not going to call it Freedom Hole, or something.
