Route: From Lyme Regis to Poole
Overview
The Jurassic Coast, a truly stunning coastline from east Devon to Dorset, with rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth's history.
Rocks from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods - rich with fossils - offer everyone the chance to walk through time and if you are lucky, pocket a piece of it!
Walking along the Jurassic Coast, you may spot dolphins dancing in the waves; basking sharks and hundreds of different types of birds that have made this place their home.
The beauty of the area is no secret - people have been visiting this part of the country for centuries.
This has led to a wide range of holiday and visitor opportunities, with the World Heritage Coast providing something for everyone.
This walk is challenging due to the terrain but with stunning scenery throughout and locations such as Golden Cap, the natural arch at Durdle Door, the Cove and Limestone Folding at Lulworth and magnificent Chesil Beach, the rewards will be many.
