Jurassic Coast

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Much of the coast of Dorset has been designated a World Heritage Site for its geological importance. Dubbed "The Jurassic Coast", this area, stretches 95 miles from Studland Bay in the east to Exmouth in Devon. The best place for visitors to try their hand at fossil hunting is at Charmouth, West Dorset. The visitor parking lot at Charmouth gives access to the beach, and a short stroll along the beach often results in discovery of small fossils. The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre provides information about the area's unique geology and tips for what to look for as you explore. more details ...
