Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England, stretching from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset. It spans 185 million years of geological history, with an almost continuous sequence of rock formation covering the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The coast features natural wonders such as arches, pinnacles, and stack rocks, as well as a fossil forest and 71 different rock strata at Lyme Regis. Visitors can explore the coast via the South West Coast Path, and enjoy activities like kayaking, swimming, and fossil hunting. The area is also home to quaint harbour towns, wildlife-filled coves, and a range of family-friendly attractions, including outdoor cinema and theatre shows, festivals, and seaside resorts like Lyme Regis, which offers watersports, crabbing, and tasty local produce
