The Jurassic Coast is England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching 95 miles from Orcombe Point to Old Harry Rocks. Visitors explore towering cliffs, secluded coves, and fossil-strewn beaches that reveal 185 million years of Earth's history. Key experiences include fossil hunting at Charmouth, walking the South West Coast Path, and marveling at Durdle Door's limestone arch. The landscape shifts from red Triassic sands to white Jurassic chalk, offering a geological timeline in plain view.
