• Jurassic Coast - The Jurassic Coast is a truly outstanding place to explore Earth’s history, the evolution of life and the natural processes that shape our world.
  The Jurassic Coast is a hugely diverse and beautiful landscape underpinned by incredible geology of global importance. In 2001 it became a World Heritage Site. 252 million years ago: This area of the Earth’s crust was stretching and sinking. As it sank, layers of sediment piled one on top of the other to form rocks. First in baking deserts during the Triassic Period (252
  201 million years ago) and then in the Jurassic period (201
  145 million years ago), sea level rose and changed the desert into a tropical sea. At the close of the Jurassic sea levels fell, a forest grew then died and was buried beneath the sediments of lagoons swamps and rivers. This was the start of the Cretaceous (145
  66 million years ago. During this Period, earth movements tilted the rock layers to the east. The rocks pushed up in the west were eroded. Soon, the sea rose again and during the rest of the retaceous sandstone and Chalk were laid down across the region, burying the tilted layers of older rock. Since that time erosion has carved this remarkable rock record into the landscape we see today.
  Through this coastline’s unique geology, visitors can understand the profound environmental changes that occur across millions of years of time. The fossils of strange and terrifying extinct creatures that tumble from its cliffs have the potential to change the way we see the world. And out of its rock falls, landslides and storm-battered beaches we gain insights into the creation of the coastline itself.
  In short, the Jurassic Coast is a truly outstanding place to explore Earth’s history, the evolution of life and the natural processes that shape our world
  The different rocks crammed into this 95-mile stretch of Dorset and East Devon coastline create a wonderfully varied landscape. There are opportunities here for many different and unforgettable experiences, from lazy-summer beach days and family BBQs to soul-stirring walks in wind-swept winter.
  The landscape of the Jurassic Coast is a feast for the senses. Its stories stimulate mind, body and soul. It captures our imagination and invites us to find a sense of belonging, to return again and again to experience all it has to offer.

Embark on a guided tour of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and delve into the history of life’s evolution and the natural forces that shape our planet.

Spanning 96 miles (154 km), the Jurassic Coast is an exceptional destination for exploring Earth’s history. It offers insights into the evolution of life and the natural processes that have shaped our world. Fossils provide a window into prehistoric life, and along the Jurassic Coast, they illustrate how life adapted and evolved over 185 million years. The Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, collectively known as the Mesozoic Era, were the age of giant reptiles and dinosaurs. The Jurassic period is renowned for its marine environments and dinosaurs such as Allosaurus and Stegosaurus.

The cliffs near Lyme Regis are constantly eroding and collapsing into the sea, unveiling fossils from the ancient Jurassic era, dating back 180 million years. Join a fossil hunting walk to uncover the fossilized remains of giant ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, belemnites, and ammonites that can be found along the beach.
