Jurassic Coast
The Jurassic Coast is a diverse landscape underpinned by incredible geology. 252 million years ago, this area of the Earth’s crust was stretching and sinking. As it sank, sediment piled on top of each other to form rocks. First in baking deserts during the Triassic Period and then in the Jurassic period, sea level rose and changed the desert into a tropical sea. A forest grew then died and was buried beneath the sediments of swamps and rivers. This was the start of the Cretaceous where earth movements tilted the rock layers to the east. The rocks pushed up in the west were eroded. The sea rose again and sandstone and Chalk were laid down across the region, burying older rock. Since that time erosion has carved this remarkable rock into the landscape we see today. There are opportunities here for many experiences, from summer beach days to soul-stirring walks in wind-swept winter. The landscape of the Jurassic Coast captures our imagination and invites us to find a sense of belonging.

Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door
Durdle Door is one of the Jurassic Coast’s most iconic landscapes. It is a natural arch, formed from a layer of hard limestone standing almost vertically out of the sea. Pay a visit to the nearby Lulworth Cove Visitor Centre, where you can learn more about Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Walking the South West Coast Path at Durdle Door offers spectacular views across the Jurassic Coast. We recommend an Ordnance Survey map to accompany a day’s walking. Walking the coast path to the east of Durdle Door brings you to the famous Lulworth Cove and Stair Hole. Further afield are the incredible geological formations of Worbarrow Bay and the eerie abandoned village of Tyneham. To the west are the coastal hamlets of Osmington Mills and Ringstead.
